Latest GX8 firmware is v.2.2. Probably worth updating, but it won't improve IQ.

Regarding your evaluation of results of shooting the GX8 with different lenses, perhaps you should look at whether your shots are using the e-shutter or the mechanical shutter. The GX8 is often criticized for shutter shock. Though I think it's mostly a bad rap (I only noticed it with the 14-140 v.II lens), your results might differ.

I use both mechanical and electronic shutter and the results were both better than the GX85.
