FWIW, that's almost certainly the purple grid flare common to X-Trans cameras and has nothing to do with the Tamron. Fuji had stated it was fixed with the X-T3. But I shoot a lot of landscapes as well and you can still find it when the sun is in the frame, the aperture is small-ish and light hits just right.

I don't think that's the purple grid flare, or you would see the grid with individual pixels/dots clearly when zoomed in. Also, the purple grid is only at certain angle, one light source usually causes only one spot of purple, not multiple angles/rays like this.

Here's a few samples of the purple grid back then:
