Again
The shutter vibration is definitely not an issue with the A7s due to the amazing silent shutter. I leave my camera on electronic silent shutter on all the time except when using flash. There is literally no mechanical noise when shooting and very little image compromise (some DR loss at base iso, no penalty from 200-400 ISO). Rolling shutter is only evident when doing panning action shots but then the A7s is no sports camera anyway.
With lenses there are also lovely Voigtlander lenses which can be had for reasonable prices on the used t market. I have been using the 35mm 1.2, 50mm 1.1 and 21mm 1.8 to high satisfaction. I would advise against getting any of the E-mount manual focus zeiss lenses as then you are locked to that mount when with leica mount you can use the lenses on Fuji or nay future new NIkon mounts etc.

The camera itself is less a problem to finance but I would not necessarily go for the Sony lenses - I'm leaning more towards Batis, occasionally even Milvus (macro and very wide-angle don't need much AF). I'm aware of making a step back in terms of resolution - but the Fuji has 16 MP while the A7S or SII comes with 12, and the Fuji doesn't need to serve as D810 replacement. The Fuji is my current solution for a lightweight bag. Everything else I will watch and wait until there's a Nikon FF mirrorless coming round the corner.
I will rent a Sony and see how and if I'm happy with. I'll know more afterwards.
