Depends if one considers selected lens rendering aspects as ‘flaws’ or as ‘character’.  More resolution will reveal more of either, depending on display parameters.  Glass half empty/half full.

I was annoyed to see in some shots with an early 35mm lux shot wide open that there was a quite a bit of ghosting present in the corners at close distance when shot wide open. I one case I recall seeing concentric circles in the corner, flaws in the lens grinding. 

Yep. First Leica lens I owned, when I got an M6 back in '96. It did the exact thing you are talking about. Sold it on many ages ago.

M10-R no problem, move on.

old lenses have the same rendering on the 40mp camera just more pronounced , still beautiful .
