The points you enumerate are all valid, unfortunately.
The futur of MFT is not very bright I think. Pany is video-centric and more invested in FF.
OM probably doesn't have the required budget and it seems unlikely newcomers to photography would go the MFT route.
I suspect most people are looking at FF options. MFT might have some futur in the drone market though. The sensor is big for drones while optics can still made quite small. It's very niche however.
For your personal needs, I guess Sony FF makes more sens. An A7c mk2 with better EVF would make a lot of sense IMO. There are very compact and fast primes in FE mount and somewhat compact zooms are also available. Finally, long lenses shouldn't be such an issue. With 60MP bodies, cropping gives you the same magnficiation ratio and results as current MFT systems.
