I got a good deal on the Panasonic G7 and decided to get it mainly for use with the Panasonic 7-14mm which I had previously used on the Olympus M10 II and very pleased with the edge/corner sharpness at 7mm but displeased with the occasional purple blobs. The latter are not an issue on the G7 but the former is now an issue indeed, and I surmise it is due to the AA filter (which the Olympus model does not have)? So I am wondering if the newer Panasonic bodies with no AA filter would give me the same good edges and corners at 7mm as this Olympus has done, anyone with firsthand experience here?

I have a GX7 with AA filter and G85 without.  I haven't done side-by-side comparisons but I haven't really noticed any sharpness differences that jumped out at me.
