Personally, I would go with one of your first two options. I am not sold on the value prop for Leica and I like AF though.

1. Sell the 18/2. 23/1.4 and 35/1.4 and Upgrade to the newer, better, bigger f/1.4 trio + get a X100V for everyday carry

I like this option, though I would skip the 23mm 1.4 as between the other two lenses and x100v don’t see a big need for it.

Good observation! Thanks for pointing it out.

2. Get a full Frame camera and a lens ( Sony A7IV and 35G). I may need to add a little money for this option.

I also like this option, as long as you are comfortable with the change in the shooting experience (less marked dials, DSLR style, no OVF etc)

Yes. You are right. After 2+ years with the Xpro3, those changes can be something to get used to "again". I definitely need to give it some serious consideration.
