18/23/50 - For me, based on focal length alone, the 18/23 gap is too narrow. I'd go for 14, maybe the 16 to pair with 23/50. Unless there are other considerations - perhaps you like the 18/2 as a street shooter and minimalist kit, and maybe you get the 23/1.4 for your low light / environmental portrait lens. So they differ on some dimension(s) besides focal length.

Regarding 23/50 gap - It all depends on what you like to shoot, your preferences. 35/75 mm is a really nice pairing and I see a lot of Leica shooters carrying that as a two prime kit. 35 is a good general purpose lens, 75 can serve as a more classical portrait lens but is short enough to be surprisingly more versatile than an 85 or 90mm lens.

For a two prime Fuji kit, I like to go with 16/35 or 23/50.

For a three prime Fuji kit, I like to go with 14/23/50 (16 if I want WR).
