Recommended Lenses for Sony a7C II ?

Question

I recently purchased a Sony a7C II mirrorless camera and am looking for advice on the best lenses to pair with it for all-around use. I mostly shoot landscapes, cityscapes, and portraits.

From my research, it seems like the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II is an excellent and versatile zoom lens that would cover a lot of bases. I've also heard great things about the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 for portraits with beautiful bokeh.

For landscapes, would a wide angle lens like the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II be the way to go? Or would a prime like the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G be sharper?

I'm open to both zoom and prime lens suggestions. My budget is flexible but I'd like to get the best bang for the buck. Factors I value are image quality, fast aperture, and autofocus performance.

Those of you shooting with the a7C II, what lenses have you been most impressed with? What are your go-to lenses for the types of photography I mentioned?

Thanks in advance for your advice and lens recommendations! Looking forward to seeing some sample images as well.
