In my opinion if you really want a digital rangefinder experience, your best option would simply be a used Leica M body. Yes even an older Leica like the M240 is still quite a lot more expensive than a new X-Pro3 Dura, but if you are really looking for that traditional rangefinder experience, you'll most likely rather find it there than trying to sort of replicate it on an X-Pro, which is a different kind of camera.

Having said that I enjoy the hybrid viewfinder of the X-Pro and X100 series and it's actually one of the major reasons why I got into Fujifilm in the first place. The ability to switch between an OVF and a very good EVF with a flick of a lever is great, the OVF works okay-ish for manual focusing but I usually prefer the EVF.
