Typically, IBIS does not work that well with long lenses, because the sensor cannot move enough to compensate for long lens frame movement. That is why most long mirrorless lenses have OIS.

280mm is longish in my book.

For quasi-static subjects, and if you manage to hand-hold the 'rig' fairly stable, IBIS can help a lot. ON S1R, I can successfully hand-hold the rather large Nikkor 400mm f2.8E at eg 1/30 sec or 1/60 sec, which is next to impossible without stabilisation. I dont think I could do any better with the Nikon D5 or D850. For moving targets, I would certainly chose eg D5+400mm.

A quick example (it is very important to properly set the focal length!) :
