Leaving aside the mic jack issue, is there any noticeable difference between the quality of the G85 vs. GX85 video? I have an ongoing video project for work that is basically interviews of 1-2 people, with cameras mounted on tripods in a relatively well lit indoor setting. I already have a G7 and a Zoom audio recorder. The quality of the video doesn't need to be amazing, just good enough for the internet. I don't anticipate doing any color grading or anything like that.

At 4K, I doubt you'll see a difference.  At 1080p, you'll find the GX85 to be soft.  You might be able to fix this by adjusting its in-camera sharpness setting or in post.  Or you might not even care about the difference.  Myself, I went with the G85 for that and other reasons.
