I wonder how well a coding agent would do if you asked one to review the change and then to rewrite the merge request to fix the things it criticized?

It does quite well and definitely catches/fixes things I miss. But I still catch significant things it misses. And I am using AI to fix the things I catch.

Which is then more slop I have to review.

Our product is not SaaS, it's software installed on customer computers. Any bug that slips through is really expensive to fix. Careful review and code construction is worth the effort.
