More that I missed:

1B. Fujifilm's PDAF sensors are rated at f/8, which isn't as precise as the f/5.6 sensors that Canon routinely uses. Fujifilm also doesn't have any double-precision AF points, whereas all Canon DSLRs in the past decade except the Rebel XS/1100D have at least one AF point (the center one) with a second f/2.8 sensor for extra precision when using fast lenses.

Unfortunately the center so-called extra precision AF is part of unreliable phase system that gives much less AF dependability than even my X-E2.

My last Canon was a 5DII with 4 Canon primes and an L zoom. AF accuracy varied widely between the lenses, and "fine tuning" the AF accuracy became tedious. AF was usually close, but too inconsistent for such expensive gear.

I can use the outer AF points with confidence on the Fuji, but on the Canon, once I strayed from from using the center point to the outer points all bets were off.

For a non-action shooter like me, the Fuji AF is well implemented IMO.

Yes, one thing I surely don't miss from FF DLSR is micro focus adjust. I've spent too many hours adjusting AF for my lenses. I am not saying Fuji's AF is perfect but I find it more consistent with fast lenses than Canon.
