When viewed on a 4k monitor, my pictures from the 61mp Sony sensor are markedly more detailed than those from the 45mp Z8/Z9, even with objectively inferior lenses. Even the slight bump to the 50mp GFX sensor blows the Nikon detail away.
That said, the colors of the Nikon are much easier to work with for me, and those details would only be viewable by me, on a high resolution screen. In practical terms they are roughly equal for all other applications. It's easier and faster to craft a finished photo with a Nikon file than a Sony for me.
I respect that is true for you regarding the colors in processing, and it has been noted by other Nikon shooters also. But for me personally, I have to say that the files from my A7RV are processing more beautifully and easily in my last year of using compared to my previous years with various Nikon bodies (mostly landscape, some portraits, birds, night walkarounds). I use Lightroom and I choose individually the profile that I like best for each particular image, usually not the default Adobe Color. The Adobe Landscape is frequently what I prefer and it plays nicer with the colors then that same profile name did on my Nikons and my GFX100S. I also get good results on some images with the camera matching Standard profile, and another excellent choice many times is the Huelight profiles made by Colin at Color Fidelity for specific camera models.
Also, I agree with what you’re seeing on the detail differences. The 61mp sensor is providing me with meaningfully more real-world detail of the landscapes I love to experience and make images of compared to the 45mp sensors I used extensively before. Of course as you see from yours also, the GFX100/S files are a leap above the Sony detail, but for a variety of reasons I get far more joy and productivity out of my fulframe system than I did with my [sold] GFX. Like most things we argue about on forums, so much personal preferwence is involved
