At the end you touched on the toughest part of buying a full-frame mirrorless today. New bodies are being rolled out by most camera companies this year, but they come with new mounts. Native mount lenses are going to be slow in introduction, so most users will be using adapters early and often. Sony has the advantage of being a player for some time now and have many lenses by them and by the usual third-party lens makers. But there is also strong support with adapters to use other manufacturer's mounts on Sony. Nikon will catch up, but it may be a few years. Canon arguably made some blunders in their own new mirrorless body and will have to do better with whatever they bring out next. Actually I like what Panasonic is showing on paper with their new body. But the lens mount situation with them is a negative. At least on micro four-thirds format, the mount is common and you can jump brands of bodies if somebody makes a better one.
I don't have a good recommendation. I'm not sold fully sold on mirrorless or electronic viewfinders yet. I shoot stills, not video. I'm still using older (Nikon) DSLR bodies, and don't feel particularly limited by them. I upgraded my lenses during the past 2 years and that is making much more impact on my photography right now. Renting another semester may be the more forward-thinking decision.
Edit: I actually just found this video today. The guy makes some refreshing points to contrast with the usual gear reviewers hyping the hot new features. https://youtu.be/RfPHPGxrN2U
