If you are just a hobbyist who wants to walk around snapping photos and you use smaller kit lenses then you will have a size and weight savings with the smaller formats.
My point is that these smaller formats are not suited to professional results - not for low light, dynamic range, wide angle shooting, noise, or the ability to achieve shallower DOF.

I'm afraid many UHH folks would fall into your bucket of "just a hobbyist", in the sense that we do not make a living off of photography, nor are we particularly interested in making money from our photos. I'm assuming that's what you mean by a "professional".
That doesn't mean we "hobbyists" don't care about low light, dynamic range, wide angle shooting, noise, or the ability to achieve shallower DOF. In my experience, M43 can provide adequate, even excellent, results. As good as FF? Maybe not, but there are many other variables that enter into the equation. Someone who knows their M43 equipment inside out and has a certain level of proficiency in post-processing can show you some things that might surprise you.
Despite that, in my case the size and weight of equipment are crucial. Health issues prevent me from "walking around and snapping photos", or even walking around and doing anything. I need a camera that will allow me to not only hand-hold but one-hand-hold. Anything that facilitates that is A-OK in my book. Of course, that's coming from a humble hobbyist, so consider the source.
