How about dual pivoting screen like X-T3? If replace rear LCD screen to thinner AMOLED screen, possible no increase camera body size.

A dual pivoting screen would definitely be nice if they could pull it off without making the camera thicker. I'm not 100% sure I want an OLED screen though because they are still susceptible to burn in. I definitely would like to see IBIS though which I forgot to add to my list.

Since all screen (regardless LCD backlight or AMOLED pixel) will degradation over period of time, better solution is make X100 series easy replace via small screw.

It is possible since all screen connector to circuit board are standard. Better make to connector as USB Type-C/Micro-HDMI/Mini-HDMI which can hide behind small notch in camera rear body.

This also allow consumer upgrade to better screen in future.

Many cheap USB hub has HDMI port.
