Used XE2 as a second body?

I currently shoot with an X-T3 and love it but there are times when I go out and don't want to bring my camera bag and various lenses with me and the X-T3 is not exactly pocketable.

I'm looking for a second camera or body that could be my take everywhere camera. I like to take photos when out walking the dog, sometimes I just use my phone but to be honest I'm not too impressed with the camera on my P20 Pro. I had a Ricoh GRII which was a good little camera but it ended up with dust on the sensor so I'm thinking ILC instead of fixed lens for a second camera.

Does anyone else use an XE2/XE3 as a second body / general walkaround camera? If I stick the XF18 or XF27 on an XE2 would it fit in a jacket pocket? I'm leaning towards the XE2 as it can be picked up on the used market pretty cheap these days. I'm aware it's only 16mp but so was my Ricoh and that's more than adequate for what I'd use it for.
