I loaded the firmware. Be warned that it takes at least 5min or so, so definitely make sure your battery is charged.
I'm not sure what FPS it shoots at in continuous silent mode, but I can confirm that there's essentially no limit to how many photos you can take in a continuous burst with a 300MB/s UHS-II SD card. This was with the camera set to full res uncompressed raw, but with dual pixel raw turned off. I fired off about 350 photos and there was no sign of the buffer slowing the camera down much if at all. So, that's nice. There is a little jerkiness in the EVF display during continuous shooting. I don't think this has changed from the old firmware.
Oddly, you can use silent shutter in high speed continuous mode, but not "normal" speed continuous mode. Not sure why they couldn't just let you do either one. So, that will still make it a little bit of a hassle if you're in normal speed continuous mode and you want to turn on silent shutter. (You can't, you have to switch over to high speed continuous first.)
