Oh, absolutely. I have the 70-200 f4 IS (which is very sharp!) and I can crop heavily and still get great results... even with the 1.4x extender.

Well, a 28-300 is bound to be a compromise! If you're a photojournalist this would be a great lens, 'cause you won't miss a shot... but it's not exactly a general-purpose walkaround lens given how bloody huge it is!
