IMO, to keep it simple:
1. If you don't care about the brand releasing more gear or provided adequate and timely service if needed: Then investing in more Samsung lenses is not a bad idea. After all you have NX cameras - so why not? If you're a fan of NX (which obviously we all are for the most part), then even buying more camera bodies is not a bad thing.
2. If wanting to get into a system that is vibrant and advancing: Then you should look elsewhere. I can tell you that shooting with M43 products and Fuji X cameras are a joy. You'll soon become acclimated to shooting with these cameras and the wealth of options you have with those systems are fantastic.
or...
3. Just buy stuff for both NX and the "other" brand. There are quite a few folks here who shoot with a variety of different brand camera systems. There's lots of joy and flexibility involved with doing so. Since you already have NX cameras, getting more lenses doesn't hurt, and then keeping pace with the other brand gear you are considering, keeps you up to date. Just a thought.
I second the opinion about Fuji. I talked myself out of buying further into Samsung recently and instead sold off my remaining Samsung stuff and bought a couple used Fuji cameras. Holy crap! Why didn't I do that sooner? I enjoy my Fuji's more than I ever did Samsung, and the jpegs are so good I don't have much need to shoot raw. High ISO performance is way better (don't believe all that junk about ISO cheating), and overall it's nice not to shoot with a dead system.
