The 50-140 is short for wildlife and too big for macro, even more with the extension tubes. And for the landscapes you do, no real need for 2.8.
One of the finest wildlife photographers out there, Tom Mangelsen of Jackson Hole, WY would disagree with that. On a FF he recommends nothing longer than 300 and his go to lens is the 70-200.

If you don't mind carrying the weight the 50-150 is absolutely top notch. Is the 90 at 90 better - slightly more so because it goes to f2. Is the 56 at 56 better - slightly again because it is almost two stops faster and a little better rendering. But the 50-140 is better at 50 than my 50 f2 is a 50.
It is heavy but it is a top notch lens and the only Fuji zoom I own or will own.
William Neill was one I've admired, with how a 70-200mm equiv. lens was put to use in the great outdoors.

The Sony ZV-E1 is a full frame camera targeting YouTubers. Chris and Jordan are Youtubers, what do they think?
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.

Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
