The crowd will never shut up 
We chew a pancake with some maple syrup on it, after swallowing we shout for more.
An advantage in size might work for Asian persons with smaller fingers than Eurasians. But first it has to be ergonomic and second, going high res on bigger than APS-C sensors needs a certain amount of precision which cannot be maintained for reasonable prices in small and only medium solid plastic bodies. Systems like the Fuji GFX show well how we can expect to go.
In long term, I think going "only FF" for high resolution woul dbe stupid at the moment when new lenses need to be developed. There's a resaon to keep the proportions of sensors, but there's not much of a reason to stick at 24×36 mm.
A Tamron 15-30/2.8 in front of a Sony α7 gives me some concerns about tripod mount and body deformation due to weight and size of the lens mounted on bayonet - it can be very stiff, if the sensor is mounted directly to the lens-mount but if there's no strong connection the whole system will suffer of deformed geometry.
Lately we see a lot of heavy long lenses without a tripod collar, like the Sigma 85/1.4 Art and some Sony stuff and I don't now if this development of high quality yet heavy lenses will not become counterproductive?
