If "shallow DoF" is the goal, then of course that is usually made easier with bigger sensors than faster glass.
However I'd argue the "big(ish) sensor mirrorless" is aiming at low end DSLR, which mostly means APS-C. And they're close enough to an even footing there.
My only concern is the price gap. The 45mm f/1.8 is near enough comparable to a 50mm f/1.8 used on APS-C. While I haven't seen street pricing yet, the indications are the 45mm will be a LOT more expensive. I hope I'm wrong there.

The 45/1.8 should go for about 250EUR street price if the usual pattern applies. The Nikkor AF-S 50/1.8 is cheaper at around 190EUR but the difference is not too extreme I think. I reckon the Zuiko has a better BQ and possibly a better AF motor.
