The problem with it is that at this point it's quite old (2019), and even when it came out it had some significant cons people had to take into account to see if it was a good match for their specific situation. If you're in the ecosystem and have lenses and are looking for an extra/new body for landscape, studio and/or event photography, it's a good enough deal on it.
The included lens is quite solid, in performance (f/4 across the entire range, and known for being sharp), but also size and weight. And also in value at this price — a very solid kit for an FF body with a very decent lens that has a solid range covered for many people.

Crazy.
Crazy.
But at $3K, you can do better. Look into Nikon Z cameras. They are very well priced. That's if you are not already invested in the L-mount lenses and don't need a high res sensor.
That said, this camera and lens are two of my favorites to combo. Camera has one of the best sensors for image quality in my opinion, but is limited as it doesnt have PDAF, so focus for bursts etc will be rough. If you do single focus shots you are ok. Tracking is rough too (decent but not great). This can also create larger High Resolution photos using stacked images. Panasonics implementation is great for this, but only in non moving objects or landscapes.
The 24-105mm f4 is a great everything lense. Its a semi Macro so it can focus close, so at 104mm f4 it looks great for head shots. Its also great for landscape and even general use.
Biggest downside of this setup is size and weight, as the S1R weighs more and is bigger than other Mirrorless, being generally similar to a Large DSLR.
ALL of this said, a7r3 or newer, might be a better buy if you want a more mobile/adaptable/cheaper solution.
