One minor problem with your theory. The Pentax DA 16-45 is a reduced image
circle lens designed for the APS sized digital sensor only, it won't work
with your Z-1p.

I don't see film dying out. Cheap quick processing will probably go much
earlier, but there is still enough of a difference in the "look"  of an
analog print from film and a digital print that some "fine artists" will
keep film prints alive.

You have 2 exceptional and one very good Pentax lenses. As pentax has
entered the digital arena should the need or desire to go digital arise you
have a decent lens set to use with it, more so then your girlfriend's Canon
lens set (I'm assuming that none are L series).

Using a rangefinder is different from using an SLR so what feels better
plays a part in your decision. My understanding is that exceptionally good
SLR lenses are more difficult to design then rangefinder lenses, so it might
not be fair to compare the Limited lenses with the G2 lenses. Also, if you
go with the G2 you won't have access to anything longer then a short
moderate telephoto.

I hope this helps a bit.
