I only have in-store experience with the X-T100, since it didn't convince me when i was testing it out. I also own the 27/2.8 and love the lens.

The 27/2.8 has the old focus motor, which isn't the fastest one, but works very well on my X-T2. There is still some hunting every now and then, so I expect it to perform quite a bit worse on the X-T100.
Maybe instead of the X-t100 you could go with the a (used) X-T20 or even the X-T30, both oh which perform better in AF compared to the X-T100.

I definitely considered the XT20 as they are both around the same price on the grey market right now. It may seem like a small thing, but I actually prefer the dials and feel of the XT100 compared to the XT20 after using a friends. And an even smaller plus for the XT100 is I absolutely love the gold color scheme. None of which are dealbreakers in the grand scheme of things, of course.

There's no real tangible difference between the jpeg output between the Bayer and the X Trans is there? The image quality on DPR's test scene shows both are pretty exceptional.

Yes, in terms of output you will have pretty much the same images if you just look at SOOC images.
But when it comes to performance, the X-T20 has a more advanced focus system, more focus points and better video performance. If burst mode is relevant to you, the X-T20 is also faster and has a bigger buffer,

X-T100 has the selfie screen, which the X-T20 doesn't have and slightly better battery life, according to Fuji. But I honestly think that CIPA battery ratings are absolute BS.
My X-T2 is rated for 340 pictures and I almost always get at least twice that much

Battery of x-t100 goes forever, it’s actually better than the cipa rating. Performance wise, it’s not so clear as you make out, while the s-af box can go smaller on the x-h1/x-t20 the accuracy of the x-t100 is very reliable too and just as quick in all light levels until around ev0. The evf of the x-t100 and the x-t20 are the same, lcd of the x-t100 also has a portrait mode ie as per x-t2/x-h1, overall the x-t100 is a class product, beautifully built and perfectly functional and formed.
