UHS-II close performance to QXD

You may want to check whether or not there's been a true fix for the Lexar SD card issues. I'm only aware of a D500 firmware fix that only provided a work around (by reducing card speeds). Also, note that your comparison is to the slowest XQD cards. The Sony G series and Lexar XQD are much faster.

Ah well, you compared it to a QXD card. There is no such beast
Try comparing to a Lexar Professional 2933x 440Mb/s XQD card.

Better yet, compare to the Lexar Professional 2933x 440MB/s XQD card. That's 8 times faster than 440Mb/s. ;-)Ah well, you compared it to a QXD card. There is no such beast

So given that there is no "real" fix to the Lexar 2000x SD card issue, what is the recommended UHS-II card that one should use?
I'm also seeing that the Lexar XQD also might have the same issue?
Perhaps, I'll stay clear of Lexar entirely.....well, there's only Sony for XQD so limited here in selections.

Sandisk makes a UHS-II. There's no issues (that I'm aware of) with the Lexar XQD.

I've got two of the Sony 32GB XQD cards that were included in the D500 Sports and Wildlife kit. These are the G series cards. I've had no issues with these cards.

XQD of any brand, Sony or Lexar, does not have the issue. The issue is caused because SD performance is being stretched to its limits. XQD still have lots of room to grow.

Well, 168 MB/s, this is like the slowest type of XQD, isn't it? As people above me suggested, try checking it against the top line "2933x" models.I was very surprise to see that a Lexar SD UHS-II performs so well against a QXD card.
Right now, there is a $30 off the Lexar 200x UHS-II SD card....unless someone can convince me not to pick up one...it seems like a good deal.
So as far as I know about the issue, the SD card error only occurs when reading from the SD during image playback, and not during writing - is this correct?
If then that's the official case, then as long as one doesn't browse images from the camera, it should be fine?

That's my understanding as well. Also, I think it's most likely to occur when moving through images quickly. Not more casual viewing such as checking for proper focus on a shot just taken.
I stand to be corrected by those that have actually experienced the issue.

FWIW:
I purchased a D500 from B&H Photo this past December, which came with a SanDisk 64G Extreme Pro SDXC card. I also purchased a couple of Lexar 64G 1000X SDXC cards. I have used both SDXC brands without any faults or other problems (knock on wood).
About the same time, I also bought a Lexar 64G 2933X XQD card and a Lexar 64G 1400X XQD card. My reasoning on the lower speed XQD card was that I could save some money and I very, very rarely would need the 10fps the camera is capable of. I am more interested in having images saved on two cards in the camera for backup. I have experienced no problems with the Lexar 2933X XQD card when using it with either brand of the SDXC cards.
The Lexar 2933X XQD card is blazing fast when downloading images to my PC using either a Lexar reader that came with it or the Sony XQD/SD combo reader I purchased later. Lexar does not make a combo reader for these two formats.
Shortly after getting the Lexar 1400X XQD card, it failed twice within two days. After the second failure, nothing I tried would "bring it back to life". I contacted Lexar and they provided information to return the card to them (at my cost) for evaluation. Several weeks later I got a new Lexar 1400 XQD from them in the mail. It has worked without any problems since (knock on wood again).
Of note: Shortly after the problems I experienced with the 1400X XQD card, B&H Photo removed them from their web site. Also, if you go to the Lexar site, you will find nothing about the 1400X version. It's like that version never existed.
I have never used the Sony brand cards but I intend to try their XQD model even though they are higher priced. While I have always mostly used SanDisk and Lexar cards (historically, I have had great luck with them), SanDisk doesn't make a XQD version. My birthday wish for this year is that soon the XQD format will become ever more popular and SanDisk will join in making them.
I also continue to read this forum daily and have learned lots of good things from many great contributors. For that, I thank you!!!
And so it goes...

I have had a 64gb 1400 XQD since day on with no problems, there may have been a bad batch, it would be Sod's Law if it failed now after saying that.

I too hope Sod's Law does not pay you a visit. Just wondering... what other XQD cards do you have and what has been your experience with them?
what is puzzling to me is that you can find no mention of that card on the Lexar web site and a search there shows nothing. B&H Photo shows them as discontinued. Amazon has a limited number of them for sale (perhaps they are hoping to offload stock). I would have more faith in the Lexar products if they would just be up front about what is happening and what they will do to fix things going forward.
PS: you didn't "take off and nuke the entire site from orbit" did you? LOL.
