Would a mirrorless Nikon camera be a good choice for a strictly landscape photography?

I have been doing research lately to find a good lens for landscape-milky way photography so the aperture need to be quite open to minimize star trails (keeping the shutter speed in less times). It also needs to be quite a wide lens to capture all of the milky way. I found a perfect lens for this, it's the Nikkor 1 10mm f/2.8 lens. It's only for the mirrorless camera. I don't own a DSLR or a mirrorless camera. I've used a DSLR in the past but I no longer have one. Would it be a good idea to pick up a mirrorless Nikon 1 camera? If so, which do you recommend as I can afford pretty much any Nikon 1 mirrorless cameras.

I've been concerned with one thing, that is the small sensor size on the mirrorless camera. Compared to a DSLR, the sensor is quite small. I am not knowledgeable on sensors but I've heard bigger sensors = better light gathering abilities. Of course, I'll be doing milky way landscape photography so this is important for half the time as I'll be shooting in the dark. The other times, I'll be doing sunrise/sunset landscape photography. Megapixels don't matter much unless you want to make billboard sized print which I won't be doing.
