Canon has excellent, albeit expensive tilt shift lenses (that can be adapted to Sony FE). Sony has no native FE tilt shift lenses (though I think Rokinon might be making one?). A7R II is a great sensor for landscapes, though I don’t think the in body IS will be of much help since you’d normally use a tilt-shift on a tripod?
Sony bodies also have focus peaking which can make manual focusing easier (since all tilt-shifts are manual focus), though I think Canon just patented some AF ones, but who knows when or if those will come out. You could adapt Nikon tilt-shift to Sony also since they are manual focus (there are AF adapters for Nikon now, but they aren’t nearly as good as the Canon ones).
I doubt you'd need a handheld meter, especially with the A7R II. I shoot -2 EV a lot of the time (to preserve the highlights), and adjust exposure in post since it has such great dynamic range.
