Hi Austin, great video and comparisons. Very telling and excellent demo of the differences. I do not have DXO or Topaz. Instead, I bought ON1 and had Luminar Neo already. I have not made a comparison but I am liking what the built-in denoise does in Camera RAW. Like your sample, I noticed that certain areas look mushy and almost out of focus but for most part the included denoise from Adobe is more than adequate. I shoot A7RIV too and I feel the noise profile is not as good as what I had on my Pentax K1. I switched from Pentax for the higher resolution of the Sony. I try to shoot at ISO 100 most of the times and have noticed that denoise improves them too.
Definitely the lower ISO is going to be better. I sadly used to love ON1 NoNoise, but have found that it is far worse than Topaz and DxO, and now Lightroom.

Thanks for the comparisons. I will go with the ai
Awesome!
