But lots of people talk about brightness and that just isn't important to me given the setting.

I 100% hear you about the wanting to go up a screen size. I had a Panasonic VT20 in a 50" form and like most TVs from 2010, it had a wide bezel and man maths i did told me i could fit a 55" to replace the Panasonic in the same space. I ended up buying a 65" lol.
I definitely cannot see myself going back to a TV lesser than that size and even had my eye on a 77" for my next upgrade.
Regarding brightness, there's a LOT of confusion around it. Firstly the brighter an OLED can go say like the fantastic G5 levels this year, it helps a lot with making colours pop more and with small highlight details that need to be bright. It's not just going to be bright for the sake of it once properly calibrated. The content is mastered from 4K nits for basic HDR and up. TVs cannot even reach that level for specular highlights yet and so properly calibrated a G5 will get you very close BUT i personally alsp think you could hold out for sales in the Holiday season and of course the all important HDR fix as well as see what Panasonic TVs review like.
Right now, do you have a budget in mind for a 65" model and a timeframe you want to purchase in. If time isn't a factor and you're willing to wait, then the previous years models end up at a very deep discount at many times when the new models release or about to as well as a few months after. I've seen a 55" G4 for as low as £800 or so and 65" models under £1350 on deals although they do go very quickly. Usually the gap between 55" and 65" pricing can be a fair amount even on discount of up to £500 or so it seems on the top end of models but the screen size jump from 55" to 65" is actually bigger than you think because it's diagonally 10" bigger it creates a much bigger screen volume to enjoy.
