My first concern is slow apertures--the kit 40-150 is too slow for good subject isolation with team sports.

Yes, I understand. But one of my reasons for opting for FT/µFT was to get less subject isolation. From my point of view, it's nice for portraits but boring for anything else. A slight touch is fine for me but I don't want more. Therefore, I recently even added an FZ1000 with 1" sensor to my gear.

The other concern is that good light is frequently unavailable as the day wanes, as the season turns to winter and as cloud cover gathers. It's the difference between putting the gear away and continuing to shoot.

That's true. And the same applies to indoor sports. But in the right conditions, 40-150R anf 75-300 can be great action lenses.
