Honestly for wildlife, if you’re in absolute full manual then your exposure will be all over the place, or you miss shots adjusting - I go manual with auto iso
Recently went on a wildlife photography expedition in africa, I’m in the same boat. Manual with auto iso is pretty much the way to go - can use the iso indicator in the viewfinder to see make sure I’m alright especially in lower light conditions (though shooting 600mm at 1/80 is a bit of a challenge)

Having to only really adjust shutter speed is insanely helpful.
Auto iso is a must for live music. The lights change so quickly that you don’t have a chance.

Auto iso is a lifesaver
