What are the reasons against and disadvantages of using a full frame lens (e.g. Sony FE 24-105) on an APS-C sensor camera (e.g. Sony A6500)? I would like to use my Sony A6500 as a backup for my Sony A7Riii without having to buy and carry APS-C lenses on photoshoots.
Why not, do it! Sony 50mm lens will shoot like a 75-80mm.

Thinking about getting a used Nikon F5 or maybe an F100 for my older Nikon lenses. Any advice? Thanks

Depending on your shooting style, Nikon FM3A or FM2N, MF and cheep batteries.

Intended for what??
If you are thinking more conceptually in terms of what makes for a sharp image, consider a couple of other ideas. When focussing with manual lenses on your D850 focus peaking is roughly as accurate as your in focus dot. As long as you are on tripod and being a tad bit more contemplative try live view focus magnified instead. That will let you really nail it.
Given your fairly sophisticated gear list, you really ought to have some form of remote/cable release rather than using the self timer. I just bought a used MC-30 for $10. Lots of options here.
Instead of exposure delay mode, use that simple remote release in conjunction with mirror lock up & electronic front curtain shutter to minimize vibrations. (Note, this has some limitations. ie: no faster than 1/2000 sec and watch out for moving subjects where you might get some rolling shutter effect).
As long as you are on the tripod, asset more control and shoot manually instead of aperture priority.
If you tell us about your intentions, we can narrow down the advice and get more specific.

When focusing with manual lenses on your D850 focus peaking is roughly as accurate as your in focus dot- I always use the dot or live view magnified, I’m finding focus peaking a little easer to nail.

As long as you are on the tripod, asset more control and shoot manually instead of aperture priority.- Nothing wrong with that.
If you tell us about your intention- I just need a good subject and good light

Greetings
Recently purchased Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens for my D850. The images are not sharp, not blurry, just not sharp. My images with my other lenses are sharp. I always shoot with a low ISO (64 or 100). Has anyone experienced this? Is it the lens? Is it the combo of D850 with the 50mm lens? If I set the camera on Auto ISO the images are noticeably sharper but the ISO is very high and more noise than I want. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you
If the auto ISO is jumping up that much then you are lacking light or aperture. Go outside and check your sharpness, shoot in daylight at ISO 200 , f/4. If not sharp you have a problem. If the images are sharp then mind your settings.
Its a two edge sword, why have a D850 with fine glass and not use it on a trip to Arizona. But then it is hard to just enjoy yourself as much while weighed down. I would take the d850 with the wide angle and a the compact 24-70 Sony RX100 III or IV.

We are planning a trip to the Rockies starting in late May and am wondering if it would be worth it to add a new wide angle lens. I have a D7100 with a 18-55 lens. I wonder if it is worth purchasing a little bit wider lens. Specifically, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX Autofocus Lens. Would that lens be that much more beneficial?
YES, YES, fantastic lens, steal at current prices.
