I'm sure there are some of you out there. What are your thoughts and experiences with shooting the non-OIS, XF 16-55, on an X body that has no IBIS? Do you find you frequently need to use a tripod or monopod to steady the beast? Are you having to constantly worry about keeping your SS at a high enough speed? I'm considering this to pair up with my XT3 and am not interested in either of the X bodies that offer IBIS.
Thank you in advance for your input.

I find it much easier to hold my camera steady with the hefty 16-55 than with a more petite lens. I almost never use a monopod or tripod and have no issues with the 16-55 at all with my IBISless cameras (X-T2/X-T20). I have a bunch of fast primes, but actually prefer the 16-55 for most indoor low light shooting - the super versatile focal range and excellent performance wide open make it great choice - I often need the DOF at f/2.8 and a SS suitable for moving subjects anyway. The OIS is a big help with the longer 50-140, but I don’t really miss it on the 16-55.
