Here are my 2 cents.

My conclusion: I haven't decided yet whether I'll be shipping the 50mmF2 back

Yes, ship it back. Here's why:

1) The difference to the 35/2 is marginal. Have a look at your framing: The 35mm is framed wider. Frame it exactly the way you did with the 50 and the bokeh will improve further a little bit.

2) The 35 angle of view is way more convenient to work with. You can reframe your subject be moving around a few meters. With the 50 you need to move more and cannot interact with your subject as easily.

#2 may be irrelevant if you shoot a) dead stuff with b) endless space around in equal directions

Fuji makes good lenses.

Yes, sometimes. But mine are either very good or exceptional.
