Image Stabilization and Video

I have a Nikon D5100 and want to change / upgrade to a mirrorless system. I plan on getting one fast prime lens along with a kit zoom lens to start, and in the future I want to invest in a quality zoom lens and maybe an additional prime lens. My budget is up to 1,200 for the camera, kit lens, and prime lens to start.

I'm thinking about the X-T20, X-T30, or X-T100.

I will use the camera primarily for travel photography and to shoot pictures of my family at home and when traveling. I want a camera with a built in flash that others in my family can use to get good photos.

With the upgrade I want to get better image quality and to have better pictures of kids indoors, hopefully without a flash. I also take some video, and while producing a polished professional video isn't important to me, I do like to get usable footage.

The upgrade zoom lens I have my eye on -- the FUJIFILM XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR Lens -- and the prime lenses don't have image stabilization.

My question is: how is the video on the fujifilm x-series without IS? Has anyone bought fujifilm and regretted the video capabilities / been frustrated with video? Yes, I will likely have a kit zoom with IS, but I don't want to have to switch lenses to get video clips.

I've looked at Sony but I'm not happy with their lens lineup. Should I look at Panasonic? Olympus? -- will having m43 be able to get me good image quality for the type of shooting I want?
