The only ergonomic difference between the D810 and D500 is the location of the ISO button. I remapped mine to the red button so it appears Nikon agree with me and that is a better place to locate it.

 

Bit off topic but my guess for the D810 replacement will be the 42mp sensor (used in A7Rii), plus focus system and auto calibration from the D5/D500. I am willing to be they will ditch the flash too in favour of GPS and Wifi, which would be good. These would make me want to upgrade for sure.

There are quite a few other differences as well that would drive me nuts if I used both in parallell... The relocated flash compensation, the moved Fn button, the sub-selector and the Fn2 button are examples. This nearly the same controls, but not quite are what held me from upgrading my D300 to a D300s.

One of my pet peeves is the way Nikon likes to move buttons (and button assignments) around on their camera bodies. I've missed my share of shots fumbling with buttons when moving from one body to another.

 

I frankly have no idea what they'll do for their 810 replacement. They've set a pretty high bar for themselves with that camera. I agree about doing away with the popup flash though. I've always hated them anyway.

I've never used those buttons which explains why I didn't notice them.

Make me a good deal on your D810 when you upgrade .
