Is full frame better than Micro Four Thirds?
Generally, full-frame cameras feature superior low-light and high-ISO performance. This results in much better image quality than crop-sensor (or Micro Four Thirds) cameras can achieve.

https://photographylife.com/micro-four-thirds-wildlife-photographyI will try to be objective here, YES micro 4/3rds can be all you need for shooting wildlife. And Pre-focus is a great feature. So why do I chose to go with fullframe for my wildlife shots:
1) Greater resolution and detail of the images with my fullframe 50mp A1 and 61mp A7RIV cameras
2) Better High ISO/Low Light performance
3) Better crop ability when I need it, and still retain top resolution, detail and image quality.
4) Ability to shoot in APS-C mode also, giving me 1.5X crop in-camera, and with Sony's Clear Image Zoom in jpeg mode, the ability to also have an added 2X zoom factor on any lens, in-camera, without loss of quality.
5) Ability to have Shallower Depth of Field when I want this creative choice.
6-7) Here two shots, first the fullframe, then a tight crop from the same image. A Great White Egret bends its neck to clean its feathers on the Caribbean Island of Sint Maarten/St. Martin. 50mp Sony A1, Sony 200-600mm lens, 591mm, ISO 1600, f6.3, 1/2000 sec.
8) A Snowy Egret takes off from it watery perch in Sint Maarten/St. Martin. 50mp Sony A1, Sony 200-600mm lens, 319 mm, ISO 1600, f6.3, 1/4000 sec.
9) A Wild Iguana in Sint Maarten/St. Martin. 50mp Sony A1, Sony 200-600mm lens, 493mm, ISO 320, f8, 1/1250 sec.
10) A Small Parrot in flight in Sint Maarten/St. Martin. 50mm Sony A1, Sony 24-105mm f4 lens, 105mm, ISO 1600, f4, 1/2000 sec.

Certainly look into Micro 4/3rds, APS-C and Fullframe options. For my professional and personal work I am sticking with the ultimate image quality, better high ISO and low noise performance, and better shallow depth of field of fullframe.
There are many great choices in all mirrorless formats.
Cheers and best to you.
