I mix and match and in my the experience Oly lenses on DFD is only one factor; and in general, I wouldn't worry about it.

Each individual lens will behave differently on different cameras.  My only Oly body is an E-PL5 so it's not a fair comparison, but the 40-150/f2.8 is way faster to foucs on my GX8.  The 75mm/f1.8 is near enough the same on both bodies, which is significantly slower than the 40-150.  So I would say, if you can, carry your bag to the store and test your lenses on the GH5 side by side with one of your Oly bodies.

If you can test, make sure you have a memory card.  Color differences between the mfg's is noticeable and something I would recommend you look at before you commit.

I also think video AF is a different beast than stills AF (on any M43 camera) and it will give you more to deal with than any native M43 lenses.
