This is super interesting, and a project I'm gonna keep an eye on. Not least of all because I've got a good selection of E-mount lenses.
One thing that's gonna be a struggle is all the specific lens corrections in photo software obviously will not be present for this. I wonder if the body behaves optically similarly enough to an existing Sony camera to be able to reuse those profiles.
If the sensor is the same size the lens corrections should be identical. Now if it communicates focal length info into the metadata (on a zoom lens), or any data for that matter, that's a different issue
I believe focal length & aperture EXIF metadata do factor into modern lens correction profiles
It's worth highlighting that the profiles are typically based on the combination of a lens and a body, one lens used on two different camera bodies would result in two different profiles being used
