I know extensive thought goes into filters in front of the camera and the lighting, but one can probably change the bayer filter transmission function to get them to match better (and maybe add one or two channels at the cost of shot noise). I see this in industrial cameras, do you know if any filmmakers use non standard Bayer filters?

The only cinema cameras I know of that don't employ some variation of a bayer filter in the colour science are black magic cameras. Their higher end cameras all have an RGBW sensor with a 6*6 grid including a white photo site. This is way beyond my technical level of expertise to understand or explain, but there's some more info below. https://www.cined.com/ursa-cine-12k-blackmagics-rgbw-sensor-technology-explained/ https://www.cined.com/ursa-cine-12k-blackmagics-rgbw-sensor-... Broadly speaking these cameras aren't used on any major features. The market is still pretty much exclusively Sony and Arri.
