Full frame sensor is considerably larger and a 10mm lens will be 10mm equivalent on it. A 50mm will be 50mm on it. The R7 uses a "crop sensor" which is a smaller sensor that doesn't take advantage of the full image produced by the lens, it only uses a "crop" from the center of it. So that 10mm lens will function as if it were a 16mm lens. That 50mm will function as if it were an 80mm lens.
With that said, all "full frame" lenses ("RF" and "EF" (With adapter)) will work on both cameras.. but there are also crop-specific lenses ("RF-S") that are often smaller, lighter and cheaper since they're designed for use on a "Crop Sensor" camera like the R7.
I believe the R7 has built in image stabilization (in the body) so any lens will take advantage of it (good for video and long-length shots, or low light). R7 I think also has 2 card slots.
It depends on what your use-case is and what's important to you -- I prefer the full frame cameras as I mostly do portrait work and use "fast" (f/1.2, f/1.4) lenses and want the nice depth of field and the "full frame" looking image. Someone shooting sports might prefer the extra "zoom" (crop) of the R7, and the extra memory card slot in case one fails. Someone who wants to get into it cheaper (having more affordable RF-S lenses) might also prefer the R7 over the R8

So really the only use case for IS in still photography is landscape or still life, but even then, In most landscape scenarios, shooting shutter speeds that low will introduce unacceptable amounts of blur from the wind or other natural movement, producing unsharp photos.
So maybe the use case is night time, landscape photos or trying to induce some blur, such as in moving water and compositing with a faster shot of everything else.
Still, land scape or still life, in dark environments are much better are done better with a tripod, which any advanced amateur, who wouldn't be afraid to spend 1600+ dollars on a camera should be carrying.
That leaves video. And while buttery smooth video is still much better produced using a tripod, slider or gimbal, handheld video is where IS shines.
Frankly, I don't know anyone doing handheld photography that is shooting any lens at less then 1/125 of a second, and at that minimum shutter speed, IS does nothing.

I took the upgrade program over the phone today. Provided the S/N number from my aged T1i camera. The S/N number is actually scratched, only last 6 digits recognizable.

Of course you can get IS in lenses at times.

IBIS may theoretically let you hand hold a photo at 1/10, but with no OCF, will never produce a sharp photo of even a slowly moving subject. You'll need at least 1/125 for that.

Also there are a lot of shutter speeds between 1/10 and 1/125. Not sure why we went all the way down to 1/10.
Ibis will help at even much higher shutter speeds than 1/125 when you are shooting with telephoto lenses.

Btw, I take 60k pictures annually, so that must mean my opinion is more correct than yours.
