Interesting point - how does anyone find shooting dimly lit scenes/ wide open lenses with a manual camera? It's not something I'd really thought about, thinking f2 or below.
Something I've done a bit with a Canon P and 50 1.8. I've found 1.8 1/60 or 1/125 at ISO1600 (pushed HP5) is good enough for most cities at night, as long as your subject is lit. Either using the rangefinder to focus, or prefocusing.

I've had a few meterless cameras before. Mainly MF though and didn't find it too much of an annoyance. However shooting MF was a completely different process to 35mm imo.
I'd be mainly using black and white film at least to begin with.
