I am not saying shallow depth of field is the only tool or even the most important. All other things being equal the more tools at your disposal the more you can create

But then, things are never equal as FF cameras don't come with a shrink ray, and the portability of my M43 kit can be considered a "tool" in that it allows me many orders of magnitude more shooting opportunities than my 5D2 does, in spite of not offering the same DoF or high-ISO performance...

Absolutely portability is a tool. You have two very different and good systems. That is nice to have the money to have the different systems available

As regards portability here is a fun one

I just picked one of your lenses and this comparison could go all over the board but as regards portability there is not a lot separating the full frame a7 and the m4/3 gx7. Not dissing your camera. Just saying the portability is a lot closer on all the mirrorless depending on the exact comparison. There is no native pancake lens for sony full frame. The others do have at least one
