The LX100 is still the king of compacts,

I respectfully disagree.

Having used them all, the best overall compact out there is (and probably will remain forever given the direction in which industry seems to be going) by far, the Canon G1X3. It outperforms the LX100 quite significantly (for both photos and videos.)

This is not geek talk, but actual user experience.

I've seen samples that the G1X III "beats" the LX100 in low light despite the equivalence advantage the LX100 has. You're not going to get much fight from me arguing the Canon is better as a largely Canon shooter.

However in talking sheer bokeh rendering capability, it's the LX100 and G1X Mark II. I didn't say either of those cameras are better otherwise over the G1X III though...
