I use the 135/2 on 5D's and haven't had it vignette at f/2 ever, though not for astro though (though i can't imagine how that would matter).
The only lenses I've seen vignette on my 5D are the 16-35/2.8 (only a very small amount), the 24/1.4 and the 35/1.4. I'd be surprised if telephotos vignette, normally it's just the wide angles.

The 135 f2 is an exceptional lens, forgot about that one. It is meant to very sharp at f2, but suffers a bit from vignetting when used that wide. I was considering that one before I bought the Sigma 300 2.8. I haven't seen much about the 135f2 + TC, but the 200 performs really well with the 1.4x and is quite good with the 2x. You will loose image quality with teleconverters, so you need a good lens to start with.
