Maybe I'm not proficient with the denoising tools yet, but I think people are putting too much hope in their ability to make high ISO files from this new sensor much better. From what I've seen so far, anything above ISO 4000-5000 is worse than what the X-T2 produced, let alone the A7III. And these are 5-6 years old sensors. I can't help but think these new sensors are rather disappointing for low-light photography.

`these are 6400 iso, processed in same way, resized at same size, X-H2 and A7III

Thanks for these, I had missed your reply. Whatever you did to the A7III file, it made it slightly worse in several of the areas where it looked to retain more detail. However, note that it's the unprocessed RAW (and resulting JPG) looks noticeably better than that on my settings.

The XH2 looks pretty much like what I get from processing in Lr and Topaz Denoise.

All in all, fairly close, but that's my point. The A7III, despite being a much older, and, right now, cheaper camera (at least where I live) produces at least equal (in my view slightly better) results without any additional processing.

Anyway, each of us knows what is good enough for them, and whether the trade off is worth it.
