Can you shoot true broadcast quality on a Canon R5?

Although a Canon R5 can shoot up to 8K, would an HD output actually be at a technically high enough specification for professional cinema distribution or TV broadcast?

(I've shot over a hundred shorts, music videos and corporate films using Canon R5 and R6 but wonder if the quality would be acceptable for a feature I am embarking on).

Out of the R series cameras the R5C is approved by Netflix.

Thanks Henry, that's very helpful. Although they want 4k delivery and I prefer to shoot 4k and deliver in HD - I wonder if 4k delivery is the same standard for all broadcasters and cinema release these days?
