Yup, absolutely love my 85mm 1.2 DS, I wish they'd put out a 50mm and 35mm DS. it is magical! For portraits I never want to use anything else outside now.

Being able to shoot at 1.2 with confidence my old DSLR, nope.. And yes it outresolves like crazy. Better colors than my RF70-200 2.8 as well.

Was f/1.2 the best aperture to balance between the most possible back ground blur and enough DOF for the subject?

If subject separation is about enough DOF for the subject as well, the flexibility of f/1.2 can be easily overestimated.  Yes, there's an "if" in that statement.  Nonetheless it's something to consider before paying 3300 bucks.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
