That's a lot of glass. I think you could pare that telephoto list a lot with a 1.4X teleconverter. Most long primes suffer little-to-no ill effects with the use of the 1.4X. A 300/2.8, 1.4X, & 2X telecons would be fairly versatile. Perhaps later on, adding the super-long tele's might be good.
Also, that 300-800 f/5.6 looks like it might be a very, very good lens. But it's also very big. The 100-400 is fairly light and easily hand-holdable.

That is a valid point. I've never owned a TC of any type either now or when I used to use all nikon, so its not something I think about as often as I probably should for what it can offer.
