I had the speedbooster on my X-T1 and 3, the photos never really looked like they could with the amazing FD glass. I got the booster because I was previously using the FD lenses on an A7. Looked amazing.

I'd get an A7 instead of paying for a speed booster, same price and will look way better. Keep the fuji for fuji glass.

Do you actually own the Metabones brand Speedbooster, or a different brand focal reducer? I have the Lens Turbo II and while it does lower contrast a bit, it actually makes lenses sharper and less CA because it shrinks the image circle (at least on my low megapixel XT-1). In my opinion, having the wider 35mm focal length is more important to me than the lower contrast, which I can fix in post.

Buying generic focal reducers can be hit and miss in term of optical quality.  And Yes, having an actual Full frame camera will always triumph over a focal reducer.
