x100v bokeh much less pleasing than x100t? ('restless')

Good question Chris, thanks.

When I playback this photo on my x100v it shows "MS" next to the single white histogram when I hit the up joystick twice. I think that means it fired with the manual shutter.

In the settings, 'Shooting Setting' page 2/3 has 'Shutter Type' on 'MS'.

Are there any other settings that might override this one?

if you are truly on MS and not one of the MS + ES modes, then shooting wide open at 1/2000 would be beyond you camera's shutter speed ability due to the limitations of the leaf shutter design.

The leaf shutter cannot cover that large an aperture in that time, leading to the image being overexposed.

In this case you're probably seeing overexposure destroying the smooth bokeh in the image due to clipping.

All good. The OP said they previously had an X100T and upgraded to X100V. I am assuming no change in shooting style and parameters.

Why would OP see a change in Bokeh when moving from T to V?
