The FE 28/2 obviously has AF on the Sony and is more compact once you factor in the required adapter with the FA 31, but the FA 31 has the better rendering - I love it on my 42MP Sony sensor. I also find the FA 77 to perform very well (minus the well-documented fringing) on the Sony - just keep in mind the negative impact using Silent or EFCS shutter modes has on bokeh at fast shutter speeds.
Not on your list of lenses, but a couple other Pentax lenses I've enjoyed on the A7RIII are the SMC K 28/3.5, which performs extremely well on modern FF digital sensors with an unmatched flare resistance for a lens that old, and the M 120/2.8 as a great compact tele option for hiking/travel.
The 24-105 is impressively good for a zoom with that range - sharp at all lengths, good build quality etc. It does trade "character" for that sharpness, but it's hard to beat when you need one-lens versatility at a somewhat reasonable size without sacrificing much at all in the way of IQ

After years of massive but very fast and optically superb options, I think people are realizing that there is also a place for complentary options that prioritize compact size, rendering, or both. It's not just Tamron and Samyang - the Voigtlander 35/40/50 Noktons and Sigma's (the last lens maker I expected this from) new 45/2.8 DG DN are other good recent examples for E mount. Also why the FA Ltds remain well regarded among mirrorless shooters
