Exactly this. Only in the last few months haptic feedback is beginning to roll out on some instruments for the latest da vinci system, which is the most popular surgical robot of this kind (they did surgery on a grape). No other robots that I'm aware of have haptic feedback yet, and visual 'haptics' are all robotic surgeons traditionally have.
Minimal feedback is the main drawback of robots vs any other type of surgery, and increasing latency increases the risk of accidentally harming the patient. I'm sure 5G doesn't necessarily have big spikes in ping which could be disastrous, but it's riskier than the traditional cable directly connecting the surgeon to the robot in the same room
