DOF Comparison across formats

Hopefully this question makes sense.

Can anyone point me to where I can see a comparison of background blur for 35mm and 40mm FOV equivalent for the following

1" sensor @ F2.8

4/3 sensor @ F1.7

APS-C sensor @ F2.8

Perhaps there is an easy way to do this for someone with multiple camera's. I only have the Sony a6000 with 16-70 F4 lens so can't really do this. I am considering selling both the camera and lens and getting a 1" fixed compact with bright lens (LX100 or RX100m3 or Nikon DL24-85, along with a second camera with larger sensor a prime fixed to it for subject isolation and more important/creative shots bit it will be with a pancake type lens as such i've narrowed down what my options will be in the APS-C segment .

Also interested in the low light qualities, but I think I know the answer there.

I'm just not certain I can't achieve printable up to 16x20 prints with a 1" sensor in good light, or in low light on a tripod if I wanted to print a landscape, perhaps meaning it would be the only camera I need. I am not a professional, but do care about IQ.

Thanks.
