55-200mm is a nice lens, had one but 50-140mm is way better in AF department. I should know, shot some sports. 55-200 is a f5.6 lens so no go for anything inside. In my book, even f2.8 inside is a no go lens but then based on example shot of OP, 50-140mm can do that performance thing easily. OP is not shooting cheerleading or dance competitions IMHO.
55-200 is f/4.8 max at 200mm. I would certainly prefer faster for indoors, and 2.8 is as best you can hope for without spending a fortune and putting up with a lot of weight, and having so little DoF as to be useless. I have 80-200 2.8 for my Nikons, plus 135 and 180/2.8 prime lenses, all owned for a LONG time! 2.8 with good high ISO performance such as my X-t3 has is good (my Nikon is older so isn't up with my X-t3 there). A modern 70-200 2.8 would be mnore useful than the 50-140, and there are plenty about relatively cheap, hopefully the Fringer will do OK with them, There are good reports.
The Canon 135/ 2.8 and f/2 are quite old lenses, I would need to see evidence that they would do any better than the extremely good Fuji 90 f/2 cropped,
