Brilliant review. I agree with almost everything you wrote.

The X-E3 is such an easy and comfortable camera to use and produces wonderful images and is quite capable of earning its own keep. On my first serious photo-journey with it, I was commissioned to provide photos for the owner of the motel I was staying at. Many of the shots chosen were from the X-E3, and the customer is very happy.

I would also like to see a better VF eye cup. The X-E2's eye cup is way better and I can't understand why Fuji changed it.

I'd also like to be able to zoom further into an image captured in RAW. If I want to do a fine detail check of a photo on the review screen, I'm forced to shoot RAW + jpeg. Never seen that on any other camera. AFIK it's the same on all Fujifilm X cameras.

Thanks SigmaChrome!

As for the higher-res in-camera preview, I agree that it should be doable without saving the jpgs. But given how cheap is card storage these days, I actually think saving Jpg+RAW is better. My card is never anywhere close to full, and before doing the post-processing, the jpegs are easier to take a quick look at.
