Given the weather sealing, AF, IBIS and the sensors similarity between EM5.3 and the 1.2, one could even call the 5.3 as a pro level camera 
While very little to differentiate here, but the M1X pulls ahead on account of taking weather sealing and ruggedisation to a new level combined with its dual processor hardware and ergonomics.

The E-M1 II and E-M1 III are not semi-professional bodies - they are professional in every conceivable way. What do you think the professional photographers (and there are too many to count) shot with before the E-M1X?

My guess on Olympus line of cameras. Olympus do it all, relatively small, weather sealed EM5 III (20MP); higher resolution (more than 20MP) Semi professional EM1 III and Professional level EM1X (20MP) similar to Nikon line of D780 (24.5MP), D850 (45.7MP), D6 (24MP).
Does the EM1x really pull away? Have you experienced that? I have both cameras -actually quite a few Olympus cameras. At this point in time the dual processors of the EM1x are a non-factor and do not add much for my usability. Ruggedness and weather proofing? The EM1 series is already plenty rugged and my EM1.1, EM1.2 and EM5.2 cameras have seen many trips from Alaska to Ecuador jungle. IBIS? - on paper the EM1x sounds better, but in practice the already very good EM1.2 is fine. The only thing I would agree on is that right now my longer lenses balance better on the EM1x and I personally have always liked an integrated grip since the days when I bought a Nikon D4s. But that is just my personal taste. What happens in reality? For the last several trips I left the EM1x at home and took the EM1.2 simply because it was lighter/smaller and I was not birding. So for me the EM1x is a very situation specific camera and that is valuable for my circumstances but I don't think that applies to most photographers. Overall, I would say that - in my opinion - the EM1.2 etc...is a better choice than the EM1x. In addition, some day in the future when Olympus releases a ground breaking EM1x firmware update I may be happier with my EM1x, but until that day I don't count on the promises of a corporation, just like I don't count on the promises of a politician.
