My view fred is - sell it all. I have the 24-70/2.8 and 100-400v1 and they work well on 7d/7dii/5dsr/R5, and just work well but I am in Canon camp. I particularly like the 24-70/2.8 for indoor camera shooting which I seldom do (not as good as v2, not as good as 28-70/f2 but good enough for my family - I only need sharp in the middle). The 100-400 v1 works good too but seeks when left with power on.
1) stick to one brand - sony or nikon or canon. Use the money for your go to brand. Adapting is a pain. It never quite works as native (eg 100-400 is a great lens but seeks adapted with power on). And you are a sony guy. Do you really want to deal with adapters and big lens whey you could just have smaller/lighter sony lens that you don't have to Adapt. 7d is/was a great camera - I have a 7dii sitting around with my a7r2 and 7d and 5dsr collecting dust. Wildlife and Landscape are quick events (dark before sunrise and animals moving) - you need to know the set up by muscle memory. Being in two camps is not conducive to this. Even different cameras in same brand is not great. And what do you bring when you go out - two bags of different systems with two different adapters and filter systems? ugh!
2) There are heaps of new canon lens (Rf100-400 for hiking, RF 15-30, RF 24-105....) that have great great features (light or good or no adapter). A foot in both camps will cause groin pain I don't use my 100-400 much because I like my rf100-400 better for hiking and my 200-400 better for spots where more weight is possible. I use EF lens mostly for careful landscape work with TS lens with the flip in adapter.
3) They are likely to just sit around because of the above.
Keep the ones you might use rarely adapted on Sony to avoid buying an expensive Sony lens you rarely use. Use the proceeds to buy a 200-600 sony if that exists.
