if 35mm feels too tight occasionally, have you considered grabbing an inexpensive backup body to carry with the 23mm or maybe a secondhand 18mm attached? that'd save you time changing lenses, and you'd get to keep the fast aperture and save on size and weight. the X-E3 both new and gently used is pretty reasonably priced for now, not sure if that'll get better or worse when it's discontinued in favor of the X-E4. I don't know about you, but any time I find myself pining for a zoom lens, it's usually because I want one or both of the focal lengths at the extreme ends or the middle.
