I can dream can't I?
Hi, Craig! Not sure if you realize the Panasonic Lumix and Olympus lenses rely on in-camera correction of distortion (barrel/pincushion) which is not supported by the BMPCC. If you looking for a general purpose zoom lens with good performance, the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 is new and attracting a lot of attention.
The current Metabones Speed Booster for Nikon/MFT would be useful then if you added Nikon F or G lenses. There are threads here you can read for more detail. There is a Metabones Speed Booster for EF/MFT that is due to be in production in September which opens up the world of EF mount lenses (including EF-S but we need to wait to see which EF-S lenses will work with the MSB--the concern there is the rear glass element of an EF-S lens may interfere with the tolerances of the MSB).
Audio is still a work in progress on the BMCC cameras and you are right, that needs to be tested soon on the BMPCC--hopefully it works well.
No doubt the LANC will function well within the limits of its supported features. There will probably be a list of supported LANCs if they are not identical to those for the BMCC.
