Upgrade X-e3 to X-t30? What might I lose?

I love the images from my X-e3 (which is my first and only Fuji) but the one thing I really, really wish for is a tilt-screen. I use it only for travel, landscape, and macro (I am primarily a wildlife shooter but that's what my Nikon gear/big teles are for.) I also use the Fuji as a 2nd body to carry for scenery while also carrying the big Nikon gear on safari, birding trips, etc. I don't intend to use the Fuji for birding or anything fast moving, so AF speed isn't really a factor.

I especially want the tilt screen for macro. I'm heading to Madagascar later this year and the Fuji will definitely serve as my go-to for chameleons, insects, etc.

So the X-t30 seems perfect for my needs but would I lose anything from the X-e3? And is there any point in my keeping the X-e3 if I get the X-t30?

I only have 3 Fuji lenses: the 18-55, the 27mm, and the 80mm macro.

Advice welcome!
