But also no real advantage, IMO. Mounting an adapter is not that much trouble ...

I think the crucial point here is, whether you get these lenses to AF reasonably fast on a mirror less.
I understand what Olympus and Panasonic are presently rolling out, is to have special focusing mechanisms in the µFT lenses to allow them to contrast AF quickly. If that is the solution, then many current SLR lenses (with or without adapter) could be of limited use for certain applications. Many FT lenses on µFT bodies do not AF at all (Lumix) or slowly (Oly).
Also how about Nikon screw driver lenses?
