I have the E-M1 and use it with the older FTs lenses and find that it works well in CAF mode as long as you keep the focus points on the target.  I will leave evaluation of the 75-300 and 40-150 to others, since I don't have either lens.

One thing you might want to try on your Nikon is the Olympus EE-1 dot sight to help you track small fast moving targets.  The other evening I successfully followed a flying bat for 9.5 seconds using the dot sight.  With the bat, I did use all focus points, since they change directions as well as move up and down quickly.
