Quite often, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out specifications. The graphic underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and A99.

Plainly, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The GH5S with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony A99 will produce extra detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more modern GH5S should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
