Which Panasonic pancake lens do you have that is slow & noisy? How's the image quality despite the low-end motor?

Sounds like the m43 20mm f1.7, which is known for its good IQ, pancake design but annoyingly slow AF :)

I was very disappointed when they bumped it to a version 2 and don't appear to have touched the motors or electronics. I'm very fond of the FOV from this focal length, but I have a hard time springing for a lens that will make... me... wait... so... long... for... focus... lock...

Especially when it doesn't have a nice manual focus ring à la the Olympus m43 lenses.

Yup that's the one. It's fine for streetscape snapshots and taking photos of people who will stay still, but the slow AF makes it hard to use for anything fast-moving or unpredictable.
