I regret I sold the Fujinon 35/1,4R when the X-Pro1 broke, it was a very nice lens, compact, sharp and with a character, the camera was a big disappointment, super sluggish, nothing to tell home about IQ wise and not built the way I expected from Fujifilm, maybe the second iteration was a better build but I figured the fancy rangefinder look and hybrid viewfinder didn't do it for me, all I need is to have back button AF, a way to select focus point, exp compensation and aperture dial under some finger, a decent AF and that's it.
Fujifilm obviously isn’t the only option here, but their camera have come a long ways in the a dozen or more years ago when the XPro came out.
If you want small, the new XE5 is certainly a contender. If you are fine with fixed lens, then the X100vi is worthy. I like the XT5, but it may exceed some of the features you are looking for.
I had the XPro2. It was a step up from the XPro1 for sure, though it’s AF is a bit dated at this point, and I think that the appeal of the hybrid viewfinder has diminished a lot at this point, now that EVF performance has increased a lot.
