The GX1/GX7 was when Panasonic got it right. To this day, I want to point blame to whoever changed the name outside of Japan for the following cameras.

The GX8 should've had a whole different name, like the X-Pro/X-E Fujifilm lines.

Even with the GX8, I felt that that full swivel screen was the kiss of death for a lot of GX owners. I think the GX7 MkII is where Panasonic should stay, unless they'll rethink their strategy and make a GXX Rangefinder camera with the L-Mount and all the bells and whistles with a Tilt screen "hint-hint" Panasonic...

The S1 and S1R has a 3-axis tilt screen that I think can work well as a midpoint. Still doesn't support Selfie screen, but does support portrait tilt.

Isn't the screen still a 2-axis tilt? Different mechanism, but still 2-axis, based on what I looked at.

I think the most ideal is a hybrid tilt/FAS like the A99 screen.

"three-axis tilt" is the terminology that Panasonic used. Maybe "3-way tilt" is more accurate (as Fuji describes the same mechanism) to describe the prototypes.

Here is a report however that one of the hinges were not on the prototype and will be added later to allow for selfie mode.

Thanks. I went to Pana's site and they do call it a triaxial (having 3 axes) - they are taking some liberty there.  No screen that I know of can rotate around the third axis.  3-way tilt is a good way to put it.
