EOS R5 Mark II -- Missing 4K backup recording when recording in 8K RAW

One really useful and important feature of the original Canon R5 is that when recording video in 8K RAW to the CFexpress card, you could also record a 4K backup in 10bit to the SD card. Obviously this gives a lot of peace of mind.

On the R5 Mark II, I don't see any way to do this. It looks like you can only record a 1080P 8bit proxy when filming in 8K RAW, but that's not useful as a redundancy. Is there a setting I'm missing?

It's a pretty significant omission if it's currently not possible. If so, can Canon add this ability back in with a firmware update?

Double-checking through the manual, I'm not able to find a way to enable backup 4K recording of 8K RAW. Am I just not seeing it, or can anyone confirm that this is in fact missing from the R5 Mark II?
