Some thoughts.

There won't be a new lens, Fujifilm just designed a new lens for the X100V which has been very well received everywhere, considering the first four iterations kept the same lens, I think it is very unlikely Fujifilm will already design another one. The only possibility I'm seeing is by changing focal lengths. however the 35mm equiv. seems to be pretty much the sweet spot.

A new sensor is in my opinion very realistic, it is fairly well known they'll introduce a new sensor next year, with the X-H2 most likely be the first camera to sport it, it's only a matter of time until more camera series will see updated models. X100 included. However that sensor won't be FF of course, it's the regular sensor you'll find in any other X-Mount camera.

Along with the new sensor we'll most likely see another processing engine. In addition to that I guess further AF improvements might be possible, maybe a new Film Simulation and further jpg options.

IBIS is something I find very likely. I don't know how difficult it is to integrate an IBIS to a very compact APS-C bpdy, but I think it would be possible. It would also, besides the new sensor, a fairly major reason to upgrade.
