If low light performance is an issue then the GH5s springs to mind. You do lose IBIS (compared to the GH5) and you mention photos so you would be dealing with only 12MP.

It's an interesting camera but I think for most the GH5 is a more rounded option.

True. However, at the moment, in my country, GH5 is 1300€ and GH5s is 2700€ (G90 is also more expensive than G9 at the moment).

About the lenses, there are many affordable f/1.7 f/1.8, f/2 options with AF available and dozens of fast manual focus primes. For anything faster than f/2.8 zooms, adapters need to be used. Sigma f/1.8 APS-C lenses with a smart focal reducer makes f/1.2 zooms with auto-focus possible.
