The Hybrid viewfinder is useless for manual focus lenses and only becomes a burden because the viewfinder curtain opens and closes (it gets annoying), and the ERF is very difficult to focus with. The X-Pro2 EVF's main advantage seems to be the refresh rate. The slightly larger display panel is neglectable since the X-E3's magnification is higher. So if you plan to shoot fast moving subjects, than the faster refresh rate might be important. Overwise, I think its a waste of money to buy a X-Pro2 when the X-E3 is fully capable of using manual focus lenses without the OVF fuss.
