I used just a 70-200 F2.8 without any converter at DX for Legends back in July and got some good results. The bank adjacent to the Land Warfare museum is the best spot to shoot from using your 200mm. The aircraft tend to take off and do their display run in over this point, and they pass close enough for the either the 70-200 or 300 to be more than adequate without the converter, but don’t expect to be able to see the pilots tonsils.
Unless the weather is very dull I use an ISO of 100, set the shutter speed at 1/90 in TV and pan with the target. You’ll get good “disc” prop blur at this shutter range.
Good luck
