I struggled with that decision making process as well. I got my Komodo early last year as I was one of the original Stormtrooper pre-orders. While they later offered improved AF performance and compatibility with RF lenses, it was always meant to operate best using MF. There are certain quirks too with the AF where you have to toggle it on and off in the UI to respond and it doesn't play well with certain Sigma lenses. I would say the AF is a few generations behind current MILCs in terms of both performance and flexibility so it wouldn't be a great match for certain types of shooting. But obviously, as you know, R3D raw workflow is well established and the IQ the comes with it.
The only other issue I had was with the fixed monitor on top because unless you are 7ft tall, you won't be able to operate the camera once it is on sticks so you will need an external monitor. The control ring variable-nd RF-EF functionality was great with my older Canon EF lenses, so I shot a number of projects on it over the summer.
Later in the year, with the long back-order from RED, I was able to sell it and break even, so I finally decided to consolidate all of my shooting equipment to Sony after supporting two mounts for so many years. I think current Canon filmmakers shooting narrative mainly would be a good match for the Komodo, but for a system that can do a bit of everything from docs, run-n-gun,etc, and way better AF, a C70 would probably be a better choice.
