Basically, if you are shooting a whole lot of high-quality video, and that’s your main thing, you’re probably just want to get a different camera. Simple, no question.
Or still photographs, even typically use and burst mode, there is literally no problem at all.

The Xh2s likewise, and still gets hot doing all the processing by all accounts.

Its very unlikely that the X-H2S AF processing causes overheating.
Why not? What else is happening to produce heat? Why do computers have large fans on processors?
No good just denying it without reasoning, there is nothing going on in a digital camera to produce heat except the processors for display and function.

Mine doesn't get hot shooting stills and the only reports I've seen of overheating have either been in very hot environments or shooting long high-res videos.
My reasoning is that the processing required for autofocus just doesn't stress the processor enough to overheat the camera.
And my computer doesn't have a large fan on its processors even though its capable of doing a lot more work than camera AF.
As always, and as has been said a few times in this thread, buy the right tools for the job. Camera manufacturers give you lots of features and possibilities, but it doesn't mean they are good at it. I could get a 'winder' for my FM2, but if I'd I used it a lot it would knock hell out of the shutter and film transport, use an F3 instead.
If you want or even need the best burst rates and tracking, and are capable of doing it yourself, spend your money on a Z8/9. If you want to do it with Fuji because you're priorities are elsewhere and it's occasional, buy an Xh2s.
Don't buy a Beetle and complain it won't go round corners like a 911.

An analogy that I like, since it doesn’t imply better and worse, is that some of the complaints in forums about camera capabilities are analogous to complaining that you F350 isn’t the smoothest or quietest riding family vehicle, or that you rLexus sedan can’t carry 200lbs of sand.
