Yes I would be very disappointed if it doesn’t have GPS. It is a feature I was dismissive before I got it but now really like it.
I hope so too , I've just started using it on my 7Dii and I'm amazed how well it works and how useful this is too including the compass to show what direction your camera was pointing.
I was shocked to find that such a high end camera as the R5 doesn't have GPS or a compass like my 7D ii which has it builtin.

Worse, all R cameras won't store the compass info when using the GP-E2. Don't forget to (re)calibrate the sensor before each shoot, it's very sensitive to ferrous metals being nearby (your car, a big dumpster, reinforced concrete, etc).
