Ideally I would like to manage with one all-around zoom and one prime. For example, I would purchase Panasonic 14-140mm (ii) and use it for landscape photos/videos, and use Panny 20mm for low light situations.

This sounds like a great idea to me. I've used the mk i as my sole lens for a lot of hiking. It's not sealed, so I always keep a gallon ziploc bag in my pack, just in case. When it's not wide enough, I shoot a pano. The 20 is so tiny you'd hardly notice it, so why not?

I also carry the Oly 12-40 pro alone from time to time. I love its sharpness, but I miss the long end.
