Hi Timoteo,
I have the GH5 and the Speed Booster XL and have used several different lenses with this setup. The GH5 has not seen so much action yet, but that's because it's just in my posession. 
I have however shot with the GH3 for 4 years and during the first year I have used  Samyang / Rokinon (same lenses, different name) extensively. I've owned the 16mm f2.0 /35mm f1.4 / 85mm f1.4. Mind you, I had the 'photo' versions, not the cine versions.
Here is a short film I did with those lenses. I was very happy with them and I still have the 85mm f1.4. It's golden for video and I like the long focus throws of the lenses and how they look and feel. I think the only difference between the photo and cine versions is the housing and the focus and aperture rings. You can't go wrong with either I think.

The only reason for selling the 16mm and the 35mm is because I mainly shoot weddings now, and I needed a zoom lens for that which became the Sigma 18-35 f1.8. I still use the 85mm often and it's teriffic!

Not to nitpick or derail the thread, but there's much better options than the Z96s now. I had three and sold them off a couple months ago. I went cheap and scored a couple "Pico 228" lights off eBay for $20 each. Much brighter than the Z96s, adjustable color temp, and they stack up much nicer/flatter in my gear bag.
I would recommend watching Caleb Pike's recent LED shootouts on Youtube, lots of great options covered there.

Panasonic GH5 plus secondhand G7 (dirt dirt cheap!  & always handy to have in the edit a second locked off shot, if you stick the G7 on a tripod and let it run)

I would also include:
1 spare Wasabi Power Batteries for C100 - $30 and your good to shoot all day long.
1 Z96 LED light(on camera light) - $70
 2x NP-F970 Battery + DC01 Travel and Car Charger Adapter - $45

Total: $5037

What do you currently use? Surely that is a key factor in this?

Yes you don't want to touch a DSLR rig with a 10 foot pole. C100 mkI or mkII is the way to go. Great skin tones for people pictures. Get a 18-..mm STM lens, a decent microphone, damn good tripod, not a cheap lightweight one, and you are 80% there. You need some lighting equipment, maybe a small external recorder to up the Codec a bit. They are cheap for 1080 recording.
The C100 is a dream for the two things you mention. They all involve people and they Have to come out looking good, no great, and the Canon can do that. Get a C100 with the DPAF in it. People tend to weave back and forth, rock side to side when excited, so you Need AF.  Make sure you don't go with too shallow of a DoF, but you do have to isolate them. Takes practice.
Go for the mkII if you can swing it, DPAF is included, and the EVF and LCD are Tons better on it. Your budget is within reason using the Canon's. But you will find out there is no end to the money you sort of would like to spend LoL.

Nowadays the 5D3 and D810 are completely outclassed and outdated for video work. They're still great photo cameras, but if your focus is video you can get a LOT more for your money.
To make specific recommendations we need to know more about what & how you are shooting, and what equipment you already have. For instance many corporate gigs would require lighting- if you have no lighting equipment you need to knock your camera/lens budget down to be able to get some lighting. But maybe you have a lighting rig already, or your clients typically don't want/care about lighting.
Same goes for audio... shooting length (media and battery)... shooting speed (zooms vs. primes, auto modes)... ruggedness/weatherproofing... transport/storage... what looks you want to be able to achieve. Do you need photo capability? What about autofocus? Do you already have lenses or other equipment you need to maintain compatibility with?

If the budget is only $5000 i'd recommend this kit.

Canon C100 MK1 - $2499
Sigma 70 - 200mm f/2.8 - $1299
Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 - $799
Rode Videomic Pro - $229
SanDisk 128 GB Extreme Pro - $66
