Fuji GF 23mm or Canon TS-E 24mm for GFX-50s?

I need some decision help. I'm just going to invest in the GFX-50s.
I'm shooting mostly landscapes, but sometime also some cityscapes and use often 15-21mm with my current FF camera.
For the GFX-50s I want to decide between the Fuji GF 23mm or the Canon TS-E 24mm with Techart-Adapter. I would like to use the Canon Tilt/Shift, but don't really know what image quality I can expect. I'm afraid to get quite weak edges with the TS-E 24mm (compared to the GF 23mm), in particular while shifting or tilting.
Can somebody share her/his experiences?

I have the GFX50s with the Canon TS-E 24mm and Cambo adapter, and can recommend it. The lens easily covers the sensor and allows a fair bit of shifting as well. Of course, the Fuji 23mm is a native lens, so will be more versatile but I think the TS-E 24mm is optically great, and the edges hold up if not shifted too radically.

Thanks, Quentin.
Just to make sure. I meant the TS-E II 24mm (newer version). Are you also talking about this one?
And another question if I may and if you have the 2nd version:
Do you have an estimation how much one can shift and tilt before one get vignetting, because of the larger sensor of the GFX? I mean, compared to a Canon camera with FF sensor.

Yes, the Mk II version.

About 8mm max I’d say. Hard to be precise. Vignetting is not the issue, edge quality is.
