Suggestions for Ambient Light (WA) Photography?

Hi,
I have already researched for dozens of hours but I wasn't able to find a "solution" for my needs and budget.

I am currently using a Olympus Em10 II with a couple of lenses (Laowa 7.5mm, Lumix 20mm 1.7, Oly 45mm 1.8 and Lumix 12-32mm).

Initially I considered purchasing a  cheap housing for my Olympus but there are no more Meikon housings and those that have been available don't offer interchangeable domes. 
This led me to look into Ikelite housings but with a dome etc. I might end up spending 1800€ for a housing that probably does not support my beloved laowa and therefore requires me to buy a new WA lens. Furthermore, spending nearly 2k on Housing for a camera I might upgrade in 1 or 2 years doesn`t sound like a good solution. 
Now I have been looking into other cameras etc. and was considering to buy a A6300 or A6500 and the new sea frog salted line. However, as mentioned in the Title, I would like to shot photo and video with ambient light and from what I could find out, all Sonys have a really bad WB.

As far as I know, only Olympus and Canon offer a good WB underwater, correct?

What would you recommend me? 
Wide angle capability 
Ambient Light 
Photo and Video 
Budget: 2000€ + 1000€ (in case I switch systems and sell my 4/3 stuff)
I am open to buy used equipment
Thank you!!
