Would I buy a Nikon mirrorless camera?
Yes; I have a 1 J5, it does the job for which I bought it, just about useless in bright sunlight.

No; I wouldn't buy a camera with an EVF because my experience is that they don't provide what I expect from a viewfinder. My first SLR was back in the 1970s so manual focus, as a result I use the focusing screen to determine focus acceptability. With the EVF I used the resolution was insufficient to do that leaving me to trust that the AF had got it right. Sorry but for this former MF photographer that just isn't good enough.

Maybe; If the EVF resolution were good enough and the screen behaved more like a traditional focusing screen I would consider it but only if I can still use my F mount lenses.
