If you want easy workflow, just shoot 1080p.

Not clear how resolution simplifies workflow. Assuming native processing (no proxies) and adequate capability in the workstation and software of course. In terms of workflow on the capture side also, 4K or 1080p still have to be in focus, properly lit, framed, color balanced, etc. Of these, focus would seem to be the only part that would possibly be harder. I can't imagine that you are saying the G85 AF performs poorly at 4K and acceptably at 1080p! Makeup? Plastic surgery for 'talent'?

I think I did not write that AF is worse on 4k than on 1080p, but I do now: AF speed can be a lot slower when shooting 4k instead of 1080p. Both 4k video and AF require a lot of processing power. For example, look at this post: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/58948226.

That being said, AF will probably not be an issue.

Quite honestly, I think the scenario is so basic that I think the OP is overthinking it due to lack of experience and in reality, nothing will be an issue.
