I never said to put in a larger EVF, just a new one. Sure, one that is as good as the one in the GX8 would be great, yet it doesn't have to be as large. Just replace the field sequential EVF unless they have a massively upgraded field sequential EVF (albeit I'll still be doubtful it would be good enough).

The main complaints with the GX7 style EVF I don't think is the field sequential, so just swapping the panel won't do much good. It's actually quite rare to see complaints about field sequential being an issue (which shows up as screen tearing).

Most of the complaints is that the panel is 16:9 which results in a smaller picture when shooting 4:3. The other complaint is that the viewfinder optics/diopter is poor, resulting in a picture that is not sharp across the frame.
