My experience with teleconverters (2x and 50-140) mostly, is that margin for error becomes less forgiving. More needs to go 'right' to get a great shot. In the end, you are able to crop less at the same resolution, which reduces the advantage of the extra organic reach.
My personal experience is that the XF 50-140 performs poorly with either of the Fuji teleconverters.
Recently, anti-tc sentiment seems to prevail, which perhaps explains two TCs having been up for sale for months. Though that may be seasonal.
I think that's mostly due to ignorance and/or poor technique. The only impediment to using the Fuji teleconverters is the amount of light you lose - trivial if it's a sunny day, but definitely a problem on those dreary west coast winter days.
Some youtubers argue/demonstrate cropping in post produces nearly equal IQ as provided by the 1.4x.
Proof only that there are some incredibly stupid people posting to YouTube, and little else.
You can always crop the image taken with the 1.4x exactly the same amount as the image taken without the TC, and assuming you've used good technique the worst-case scenario is the image quality will be exactly the same.
