Oh dear, I don't use lf for those reasons at all.
I suppose there's nothing for it but to stop taking photographs, as I seem to be doing it all wrong ...
Because you/they can develop individual sheets how they want them for the zone system. Also frame precisely in a way that's difficult or impossible on a hand camera, wait hours or days for the weather, etc. A miniature camera is not the best tool for that approach.
One approach to using the zone system in 35mm photography is to have several camera bodies loaded with the same film but dedicated to different exposures. e.g. +1, 0, -1, etc. The film from each body would receive different development. Think of each body as a film holder that holds 24 or 36 shots instead of 2.

Better yet use the Zone System for sheet film and not use it for 35mm film. Ansel Adams stated and wrote the the Zone System can be awkward to use with a 36 exposure roll. Carry around five cameras [-2N, -1N, 0, 1N, 2N] or not use the Zone System with 35mm cameras? The choice is yours.
The above is nonsense if you do care about final result in term of absence of gamble.
But I'm on my second 90m bulk load of this "better than nothing" a.k.a. Polypan F film. Great for film wasting, which I do for different reasons.
And the luck of the highlights, dots and missing emulsion on Polypan F loaded into mini Diana with dull lens will gives you "creative effects", while the old film lenses on digital are giving some digital noise and nothing else.
I agree, in general, any lens is good at any film, comparing to digital.
If one is going to use range finder cameras, I believe that one can never have too many Leicas. Besides they do not weigh as much as Hasselblads or Rolleis.
