Same with 14-140 II on GX85 but I use E shutter on GX8

Yes, I have two of the 14-140 II versions. Use e-shutter mostly on my G6 and auto-selection on the G7, which automatically chooses the e-shutter maybe 25% of the time. Auto selection on the GX80/85 hardly ever chooses e-shutter and I've never noticed any shutter shock in any image taken by it. On my other two, if I use m-shutter, it is often fairly noticeable, so it's not that I don't notice or deny the phenomenon.

It is quite possible that the GX80 does have a modicum of SS but that it is below my ability to detect it. I think Panasonic claimed that it was over 90% eliminated and I'm not about to argue with there being 10% left. It's a tenth that is below my visual threshold.
