IBIS is needed for my indoor photography

Okay.

Yes, I dont have many Pentax lenses that I would worry about and wont be selling my K5ii as it is not going to fetch a lot of money

For cross purposing your existing DA's if you decide on the K-1ii, see https://www.pentaxforums.com/articles/gear-guides/full-frame-coverage-of-da-lenses.html?src=hs

I can't verify reliability (don't own a FF), but it seems fairly comprehensive.

The size of S5 with the 20-60 kit lens is 980 gm vs 1165 gm for my present K5ii+18-135
And I gain in the FF sensor so seems win-win

Of course I lose on tele end but for my landscapes, I gain significantly in the wide end .

Did you mention real estate photography in another thread? Yes, 20mm on a FF is going to be wider than 18 (or even 16) on an APS-C, but from what I've seen even that might not cut it for real estate sales work.
