The camera should suit the photography you do. That said, you could rent to try this camera before you buy it, to see if it works for you.

An awful lot of money to spend, even for medium format.
Have you considered Pentax?
Have you considered Nikon’s new full format Z-mount mirrorless cameras?

Well......for 10 grand body only this should definitely fit the bill. You would find the build quality to be superb. At least it is with my Fuji X-T2.

Suggestion: read Ken Rockwell's review on this camera. It is very telling. He brings up some good points.

If it is necessary for your work, and will pay for itself through increased sales because of quality improvements that other formats fall short of...

Also check out DP Photography reviews on it. It blew away every previous camera in their studio tests.

I had a 645z and I loved it; but it was very heavy and difficult to schlep into the field. With such a large sensor I’m a little concerned about blurry images at slower speeds when not on s tripod. Thanks to all for your comments.

I've learned to take Ken Rockwell's reviews with a grain of salt. To suggest this camera is only for those who want to impress others sounds like sour grapes. Some professionals will find the GFX-100 to be the right tool for their needs, and it may give them a competitive edge when it comes to resolution and clarity. And what's wrong with amateurs who have the financial resources who simply enjoy shooting with the next best thing? If it weren't for innovative companies like Fuji, we'd all be shooting with 2mp Kodaks.

This is nothing like a 645z in size or weight. It's closer to the size of a DSLR. Read the DP Review article on it.

Are you serious, you want other people's comment's on weather or not you should buy a $10,000 camera?

If you have $20,000 to spend for a camera (you will need a lens or two at 3-5K each), go for it. If you can use it professionally and recoup the costs, more power to you. (Plan on another 3-8K in computer upgrades and storage to work with those 100MB images) If you are a well healed hobbyist, I envy you. Good luck.
