I would compare a7III + 24-105/f4 with X-H1 + 18-55/f2.8-4, at least until Fuji comes out with the 16-80/f4. You are also comparing two different formats (APS-C vs FF), each comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

I own A7rIII and 24-105 as well as X-H1, the following is my personal opinion.

X-H1 handles much better than Sony. Sony seems to have higher DR and better high ISO handling. Fuji has focus stacking (important for macro and landscape), Sony doesn't. I prefer the Fuji system unless I need >24mp resolution. Also if you want to dabble in street photography, you could add later an X-Pro2 to your setup.

You are probably fine choosing either system, but I know of many photographers who could not live with Sony ergonomics, though Sony cameras have improved considerably with the Mark III series.
