I am a wedding photographer. I am planning to shoot 8k at 60fps and grabbing 8k still images whenever I can not utilize Canon R5 Mark ii-s still frame capture while shooting HD 30fps video.

Has anybody tried to do this? I would use the 8k screen capture only when the camera is on the gimbal and I can not touch the shutter button. Otherwise I am planning to swith still and video capture and shoot video while using the shutter button at important moments.

Any recommendations?

Exporting a frame is a thing in most NLE's.  The catch is you want slow shutter speeds for that natural feel/flow in video, but want higher shutter speeds for that crisp high resolution image.

Your editing process is completely different - it's not like you're exporting CR3's, it's literally grabbing a frame hopefully you've color graded & exporting it as a jpeg.  So the image quality is highly variable & may not be suitable for large prints compared to the normal 45mp shot.

I obtained a Nikpn Z9 for this purpose among other needs, and I used Davinci Resolve Pro for processing.  I can export 8k Tiffs to the file manager and then do photo touch-up in Photoshop.  This is not the same, of course as dealing with RAW images, but I only shoot in decent lighting conditions, and the Photoshop adjustments are minor. 

What I was doing was recording my two dogs running, playing, romping around, etc.  They can move a lot quicker than I can follow with still photography, but it is easy to browse through a video timeline and select the absolute best moment to print.  I use high shutter speeds of course, but I also shoot at 60 fps.  At 60 fps I can produce a high shutter speed but decent video of the action, if I care to.

I sometimes use the video-to-stills method if I am photographing some action and I cannot predict "what happens next."  Unfortunately, I seldom get action dog images these days because they have sort of aged out of the playful years.  Young dogs like to play, and old dogs like to be left alone.  As an old dog myself (84), I appreciate that point of view.

Probably right, but what has happened to the price of 1TB SD and CF cards over the last 6 months?  The same applies to SSDs.
