If you like ultra wide or even standard wide there's no way around that.The 2x crop may be helpful with respect to birds and bugs but for landscapes I’d want lenses as wide as 14mm (actual) to get me to the 28mm I liked to shoot with 35mm film, and those lenses are rare and expensive now.I'm looking at a £18 m42 240/4.5 Enna Munchen only 14cm long small bodied for butterflies small birds. I never did butterflies small birds on my m43s as far as I can recall.Do you like manual legacy lenses on your m43 ?
Short answer is NO
I've tried my legacy OM Zuiko film lenses on my E-M1III but didn't enjoy the 2x crop.
I prefer to use them with a FF camera

Picked up a 45-200 panny last week, still intrigued by the Enna mulling it over. 2x crop equivalent 480mm will help, just have to practice to keep it steady hand held should be alright in bright light.

Although there's plenty landscapes done at 35mm, even 50mm for which 18mm Sigma m42, Sigma Superwide II 24mm both I had would do fine.
There was a Tamron adaptall 17/3.5 and Tokina 17/3.5 though I never had these. I will look into these see if there is a bargain.

Photography after all is interplay of light alongside perspective.
