I've just taken up wildlife photography again, and we're planning out what body/lens ecosystem we'll take up. How do people find it?

I'm using the Olympus OM-D, and it is an expert in that field. The lightweight body and most lenses are an advantage, too.

Start with the M5 and the 12-60 and 40-150 lenses. Add longer ones later.

I would try B&H Photo. If you can’t find it there then it doesn’t exist!

What I'm asking for is people's experience using micro four thirds cameras and lenses

Dunno if it's too late, but I've found it great. The Olympus 300mm is on par or slightly larger than the 70-200 f/2.8 canon and gets me in as close as i could want. I've got a 1.4x telecon too.
