Yes, I've used the 400mm f5.6 @ f8 (minus the tc) to capture birds ,with no problem, as long as it is bright

On my 40D (not got lenses as good as yours) the only one I can AF 'through' with my converter is the 50mm 1.8 - nice and wide.
That said - MF on a sloer or longer lens is fine if I can predict the shot.

My main priorities are to get a FF body, that has good noise handling at high ISO, mainly as one of my favorite things to photograph is live bands.
I quite like the idea of the lens microadjustment.
Apart from that I am not fussed on things like GPS, face recognition, Live View, Pop up Flash, Etc. Although the bigger screen is always nice.
I will still use my 30D as its a great body, and I will take it abroad. The 300D will get passed on to my other half with all my old lenses
FF is the biggest thing for me though, I really want to see my 17mm work at 17mm, should be really wide.

Yeah, the moon photo has changed a couple of times now. It's a very slow change, and I have been checking to see if it follows our moon cycle, but I am afraid not, the next full (UK) moon is 15th Sept, so unless thats the day, I guess we still have to wait.
