I suspect that what you are seeing is simply what happens with noise at such very high ISOs. I obviously don't have an XT5 at this point, but on my earlier Fujifilm cameras (which I often use in very low light) I would generally not shoot at such a high ISO at all — perhaps only in a situation where there was no other way to get the shot and I needed it for record purposes.
And, again, avoid shooting about 6400 unless you really have no other choice. In fact, I only use 6400 in situations where I have no other option. And if your photography is frequently done in conditions where you have no choice but to use extremely high ISOs as a regular thing... you may be better off with a camera with a larger sensor and lower MP counts.
This type of noise looks unusual from my experience as well as what you see on other websites that post high resolution, high ISO images from similar sensors (if not the same sensor).
For example, DPR's high ISO images from the XH2 do not exhibit this effect.
Therefore I wonder if it's how the image is being processed in X Studio Raw. Have you tried using a different software, maybe Lightroom or Capture One? I say this because the same issue is exhibited across multiple cameras so it could be a sensor issue or a processing issue, and not an issue isolated to your specific camera.
ISO 6400 is not that high. People should feel comfortable shooting at that ISO without an image looking like this.
