I've got the 40/1.4 SC and think it pairs quite nicely with the Sony 35/2.8 FE, which IMO, really beats all the other legacy options out there.
Its super small and light, has AF, doesn't require an adapter, is quite sharp even wide open, and has nice across the frame sharpness and the Zeiss look/color. Pairs really nice to the, "classic" rendering of the Nokton.
Something like a ZM 35 sort of works, but its a lot of money to pay for something that still is going to show some color shift etc.
SLR glass really didn't wow me either as lenses like the Canon FD 35/2 needed to be stopped down so there wasn't much speed advantage and with adapters they were kind of getting bulky.
35 FE just ended up making the most sense for the A7, and you can get it for about $600ish these days.
Your just not going to really find a RF 35 that works great on the A7, short of something like the VC 35/1.2, but then its pretty massive, and again still needs to be stopped down.
Use your Nokton on your M6 when your shooting it and enjoy its character, and if you want/need speed, throw it on the A7. When you want a more modern look, toss on the 35 FE
2 small, affordable lenses that both excel at a given style just usually work better than trying to make one lens fill multiple rolls
