It lacks super telephoto lenses, advanced lenses (such as tilt shift), and more flash options to make it a "true" professional camera.

I also agree on reliability. I broke an A7 II after 5 months of mild usage. I don't think the sensor stabilization system is ready for pro usage

They're improving on one front, they also launched a 100-400mm super telephoto lens today:

But yeah, they have a long way to go to match the lens offerings of Canon / Nikon.
