Losing e-shutter with the 40mp sensor is a big hit for street photographers, the main focus of the X-Pro series.

I thought the X-T5 still had ES?

Yes but apparently it suffers from horrible rolling shutter due to the 40mp.

Unless you are panning with the camera or there is significant motion - the rolling shutter won't be an issue. Of course there are certain types of scenes where one will notice rolling shutter. Hell there are certain types of scenes where one can notice rolling shutter with a mechanical shutter. At shutter speeds above the flash sync speed, the mechanical is a rolling slit over the sensor as part of the sensor is only exposed.

The flash sync on the XH2 (and I presume the XT5) is about 1/250. so at 1/1000 only a slit of the sensor is exposed at a time as the slit rolls down the sensor.

You might also Google "baseball bats and rolling shutter."
