How would you rate the sonos playbar + sub + two play:1s as rears? Worth the money especially since I already have a sound system currently. Does the 5.1 sound pretty good for movies (which is the only time it really matters)?
I'm a sonos fluffer so take that into consideration.
I think they sound great and do not regret my purchase. Movies sound fantastic.
I would read this regarding surround sound tho. Only negative I've found.

But nothing that's "movie on demand" or VOD is ever DTS sound through an AppleTV or Amazon FireTV or even Xbox One S, is it? It would only be a Ultra HD Movie (CD), right?
ETA: After having read that link, I think I'd be ok as I'd plug the optical out into either the Amazon Fire TV or the Xbox One S in our den. However, there lies my final problem... multiple devices all going to the Playbar. This may be what is a deal breaker.
The whole point of me going to sonos and possibly ditching my receiver is for ease of use for myself but mainly my family. I don't want them to have to use another remote or physically get up and change a HDMI or Optical Switch from "Source 1" or "Source 2" everytime they'd go back and forth from the Amazon Fire TV to the Xbox One S, etc.
If that makes sense...

I'm about to build a new house and thinking I'm going all sonos. Build a nice surround in my living room a set in my bedroom and one upstairs. Then if you have parties inside or outside you can move speakers around to accommodate

Biggest disadvantage of Sonos is the lack of DTS. ...Dolby 5.1 hasn't been exciting since the early 90's. Their refusal to pay the licensing fees for DTS is frustrating, the only other complaint I have is the inability to add multiple subs to a single room.
It might be user error, but I also find the system loses synchronization with the TV sound volume. I'm not certain the reason, but sometimes the volume will be set the something low like "3", yet it'll blowout my eardrums, and forces me to reduce the sound to zero, then everything equalizes. It's petty, but annoying nonetheless.
