Right. I see where you are coming from. Obviously, we are all on the outlook for unpleasant background scenes but there again as you say we can cut or work our way around any scenes that do catch us out. That's the beauty of video democracy. We all decide our weapons of choice and how to use them. I use a mixture of everything from a three-chip PDW XDCam disk camera through three-chip EX series, 1" PXW-Z90, A7III, and FS7. On the FS7 with everything from PL prime glass and Speedboosted FF glass through to a B4 7.6 x 22 and a 4.5 x 11 Canon with an MTF B4 A16 adapter. They all have their place. Like a carpenter, not just one chisel in the toolbox. I find having the flexibility of choice to suit a range of jobs from the football field to the history doco interview all require different tools. Which can all bring different strengths to the job in hand and suits the way I work. If I was forced and limited to only one camera to cover everything from entertainment, sports, corporates, and docos it would have to be a 2/3" three chipper as I can in a reasonably workmanlike manner cover any one of those fields of coverage with one of those. Whereas for certain types of shoots I would be struggling, really struggling, and would need a range of lenses for my mirrorless for example. Just keep on shooting my man in your own style and enjoy the challenges. 
I forgot a "wedding" from Feb last year. Just prior to our big Covid lockdown. I wasn't actually the videographer as I was the groom's father. Finally married him off in his forties! But I did take the Z90 and shot the bridal waltz for a family highlight clip. Shot at F4.0 as that the lenses' max F stop when zoomed in. Shot at around 90-110mm handheld using the camera's SteadiShot. Edited obviously but again a pleasant look can be obtained from almost any tool when used within its limits and strengths. If FB hasn't blocked it due to copyright music a segment should be found here.
