Sorry, click bait headline. Yes, the camera is worth it in general but...

Seems to be the EVF/OVF is the defining feature. If you find you like EVF better, is there any reason to get an X100V as opposed to one of the other Fuji X bodies and lenses?

The EVF is indeed better, at least hat was my experience

I like the camera but I am a fan of the film sims, and the OVF is a fun, different experience but I also like a EVF, especially if I’m shooting a film simulation, I like seeing how the shot will roughly come out vs just the OVF view. So if I’m just going to put it in EVF mode all the time, is the X100V the best option?

Not only is it not an EVF with exposure simulation in real time, it also shifts around as you focus.... right PITA, not a genuine rangefinder.... gimmick IMO

Benefit over say an XE-3 and 23mm f2 is size.

Simply put this camera fits into a tiny inside jacket pocket whereas an Xe-3 does not.
