"jus FYI the CV 35/1.4 is one of the best RF 35s on the A7"
I hope that was a typo – the CV 1.4 is not not one of the best RF 35s on A7/r, but the 1.2 is.
Anyhow, the issue is 28s.
No typo.
I also have the 1.2, which is the BEST rf 35 but is of course really big.
the 1.4 can do landscapes at f/8 and is good in the central frame at high speed.
the FLE is better of course, and every 35 has less distortion, but the 1.4 is cheap, tiny and pretty much works.
skopar not so much

this is why you get the extra stop. It's like another lens.

But that's not the OP's interest – he said he wants to be able to use the widest apertures.

You are now public defense for the OP's interest?
I made an aside, you disagreed, i made my case, readers can judge for them selves.
Be well
