Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L DS USM, RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM and other accessories will be announced soon

You can but you better of shooting at native iso 100 with as ISO 50 is a “trickery” :)
Very true. I prefer an ND filter... but that's more trickery. ;) My last shoot I dropped to ISO 50 because the other guy I was shooting with always laughs when I put on an ND filter. I have no idea why he thinks that's funny... but I am gonna shoot f/1.2 in the blazing sun no matter what, by God! ;) Honestly, I should just stop down a little.

So what happens to the images in the buffer that haven't written to the card yet? What do you use for the remainder of your mission critical shoot?
all good questions:
yes, images in the buffer (a few shots)will be lost, however the card contents won't be. having 2000+ shots on the card at the end of the day is not a rare occurrence. having a few lost is irritating but not a cataclysmic event.
what do I do? I use a replacement card holder that I keep as a spare in my photo backpack. it's is a $2 item. :)

well, ask your guy an advice on how to achieve a 30 seconds long exposure in full sun without a ND filter. funny that.

I can simulate the results of that. Open up Photoshop or GIMP, create a new document (sized appropriately for your sensor) and save it immediately, with just the white background. :p

You are absolutely correct, Michael. Solution isn’t ideal. Therefore I always shoot to multiple cards.
however, saving to multiple cards via holder adapter provides some additional protection from a card failure. Not controller failure, of course.
To the same effect, and I like your intelligence, lest see what happens if shutter gives up or any other unfortunate camera fault take place during the first kiss? Oh, Schweppes....... or is it oh, Schweitzer? :)
