Yes, it's fine for moment and I could get away with using it a while longer. But I would particularly like something that re-focuses automatically while filming + while I don't often run into problems with the 7d overheating or recording time being too long, it has happened and it's a pain.

Just spotted this - good point on recording time. All mirrorless/compact and DSLR 'style' cameras that shoot video and that are sold in the EU have a cut off of about 29 minutes. There's no getting around it unless you have something like this:
That's actually not a bad shout:
Flog Tascam + 7D - should get a few hundred quid
1 x second hand A6300 (about 600)
1 x BMD Video Assist (about 350 - second hand maybe 250)
1 X k2m (399 new at Park - cheaper second hand etc)That would allow you to record for longer lengths, no chance of camera overheating, record audio internally via XLR and best of all - monitor your footage on something more appropriate than just a 3.5" flip out screen. With that particular recorder you would be limited to 1080p though (they do a 4k one for a couple of hundred more). However the quality will be significantly better in 10 bit 4:2:2 than the internal codec on the A6300 which while decent is quite heavily compressed.
CYOA
For your application, what you already have will do a perfectly good job, I would think, assuming you have decent mics, lights etc. Panasonic GH series has been the go-to for years, I believe, though you will find people using all sorts. Sony A series is very popular, Canon and Nikon DSLRs from top to bottom of ranges. Newest Fuji model is aimed at video, I believe. No right answer. Solution is determined by budget to a degree.
I use a Nikon D750 with either Rode Videomic Pro or adapted SmartLav+ lapel mics, which I also use with an iPhone 8 for on-the-go vids. Both are fit for purpose.
