Well, you've covered just about every negative you can pick up from reading in these forums.  So the best advice I have is to stop reading and just use the camera with an open mind.  The only real limitations will be what you bring to the table, the cameras are all as capable as you need them to be.

Perhaps you can download the manual and get familiar with it prior to Thursday.  Olympus cameras are known for having lots of options to customize the features, which sometimes overwhelms new users.  Olympus HSS flash is called TTL-FP and you can get that with optional flashes such as FL600r.

No point to looking at other lenses until you decide whether or not you like the camera.  Especially since you already plan to move from older Olympus entry level to Sony FF in a matter of months.  If you like the camera, figure out what you need, rather than what you read that others like.

Figure out whether you want to be a gear expert or a photography expert.  They aren't the same thing.  Jumping from brand to brand and camera to camera is fun, but doesn't have anything to do with becoming a better photographer.
