I’d suggest keeping any GAS at bay and using your X100V until you know what you want. Most of us shoot particular lenses for the simple reason we enjoy shooting that lens. When it come to wide, many wide shooters have well defined limits and don’t go wider than a certain FL. Find out where the 23 mm on your X100 is not meeting your needs and by how much. Small increments (2 mm) on wides can make for material differences in framing. Listening to what others think is right for you is a good way to fill drawers with unused lenses.

Second though it buy used or a low cost manual focus lens. You don’t need much AF on a wide lens. You can sell them for near what you paid for them and spin through a bunch of them if that suits your approach.

And don’t overlook you have a pano mode on your cameras.
