Care to point out some examples of "Visibly worse IQ" (using e shutter)

No. Well documented.

Even with my GX7, I would say there is not an in use visibly different IQ between electronic shutter and mechanical shutter.

Although, if I had a very high contrast scene and wasn't using HDR I would probably shift to mechanical shutter so I could extract as much detail in PP as possible.

But GX8 has a 12-bit e-shutter. It captures equal details and comes with the added benefit of 1/16000s shutter, albeit not for rapidly moving subjects.
