I think what you’re looking is pretty nuanced. Trying a few lenses out might be the best way to find what you’re looking for
That being said, going from 55mm to 50mm may do the trick. The 55’s background fall off has a lot to do with the slightly longer focal length. Switching to 50mm may be enough to get the DOF you’re looking for
As far as 50mm lenses, I currently use the 50mm 1.2 GM. I don’t think that’s exactly what you’re looking for
Haven’t really tried to many 50’s in E mount. Only the Zeiss 50mm 1.4 and the 55mm 1.8
Best of luck with your search
