Here are 2 of the samples at iso 200 for the xpro3 and xa5 raws exported in capture one 20.

I disabled all sharpening in the export as quite frankly the with the default sharpening the xa5 clearly shows better clarity and detail.

In anycase with sharpness disabled i think the xa5 still shows better detail with no sharpness as in these photos.

This matches my own experience using the xe3 which looks like the xpro3.

xa5 does show moire with sharpening on and the xtrans sensors show artifacting on things like text if you try to increase sharpness to match the bayer.

Also to zoom into the raws in capture one bayer files zoom in faster than xtrans so xtrans require more processing power than bayer in capture one at least.

Sharpness isnt everything of course and fuji photos look great, i often like my xe3 photos over my a7r2 files.
