Jannik, I bring all the DNGs into Lightroom, find the ones I want and delete the rest. That sounds like what you're doing with the RAFs.
If you wanted, you could bring all the RAFs into LR, sort them as you usually do, and then convert them to DNGs from inside LR. But to my mind that's an extra hassle given that the DNGs produced by IXT, while larger than the native Fuji RAFs, open very quickly because they've been decoded and developed.
You can download a trial version of IXT that is fully functional except it watermarks the image. That would give you a chance to try both approaches.
And I'm not a pixel peeper by the way! My goal is simply to get the cleanest possible image from the camera because I want to be able to print at 17x25", and potentially larger. Because I came from an A7R, I got spoiled by the image quality from that camera! I want my smaller Fuji files to perform as close to that level as I can -- and this workflow gets me there.

Thank you very much, rdeloe! I usually do a step in Lightroom between 1 and 2.
I use LR to import the files and to automatically generate the right folders. Then I select the images that I want to keep (star rating) and delete the rest.
Would it work to do that step before the iridient conversion or will I have to re-import them because they get converted from RAF to DNG?
@TheEmrys@: Yes, I remember that you have posted in the Sony forum when I suscribed to FM.
I'm not necessarily a pixel peeper but I do sometimes little jobs and I need to be able to deliver the right files to print large. I don't mean 2x3m but at least 1x1.5m. I also like to have a few large images at the walls in my home. For web images, I think the correct resizing and sharpening is more important than perfect pixel level sharpness.
I see, my preliminary choice of lenses isn't that bad. I have high hopes in the 2/23 as a WR lens, I really want to take pictures in bad weather conditions and my Sony isn't reliable in that scenario.
If I'd go all in, I'd probaly get the 16-55, 2/23 (everyday), 1.4/23 (portrait), 1.4/35 (portrait), 2/50, (travel), 1.2/56, (2/90, not sure about it) and 100-400.
I'd sell the Sony 1.4/50, 1.4/85, 4/70-200.
Why did you sell the 1.4/23?
I'd still keep my Sony A7II with the CV 5.6/12, Loxia 21, FE 2.8/35, CV 2/65. The wide angle lenses in the Sony system are simply more attractive in my opinion.
