Architecture with the RF 16mm lens

So now that the 16mm lens is available I thought I'd try a quick architecture test. These two images are the same photograph. The first is the out-of-camera jpeg which has in-camera corrections automatically applied. The second is what the raw file looked like with minimal edits. The lens clearly covers a wider field of view which the in-camera corrections use to crop in slightly.

When you apply the lens corrections on the raw in Lightroom Classic is the resulting image still showing more than the in camera corrections?

I don't have Lightroom so can't say for certain, but I would expect it to correct the pincushion effect in the same way which would inevitably lose the same amount of extra image space.
