I guess I'm wondering what you're comparing to today's sensors? ISO performance is certainly amazing today, but it's still not going to get you that shallow depth of field, and you're still going to have more flexibility with a faster lens. It makes such a difference to me that it takes me a minute to recall when the last time I used an f4 or similar zoom. Fast primes are almost all I shoot.
