What's limiting new digital cameras from becoming faster? A decade ago a friend showed me his digital camera with an ISO setting in the thousands and I was amazed at how little noise there was. I've since been a little disappointed that I'm still balancing noise and aperture shooting indoors. Phones take on the problem with heavy image processing, but I'm interested in hardware solutions.

Is the a7s not fast enough for you?
Shooting indoors is unfixable because there isn’t full spectrum light; you’ll have to make up some of the missing colors eventually.

What do you mean? The current crop of high-end cameras is absolutely amazing in that respect. Take Canon R5, where usable ISO settings extend at least to 32,000 (and the upper limit is 102,400).
You need lower pixel counts on the sensor for better ISO performance. Larger the sensor pixels, more light they get. Sony A7S have low pixel sensors and have performance better than a human eye. Night time shots with a full moon look like it’s a day time shot.
