Will have to see how good the new magnification and focus peaking work. If they work well enough, auto aperture is not really needed. Also, the 'Viso' EVF for R lenses is mostly needed for tele lenses, where you will shoot more often at near wide open aperture. The main problem I see is with macro shots.
