There is nothing about your X100F which makes it fundamentally worse than an X-T2 for this kind of shooting. An f1.4 lens wouldn't be better because what good is faster aperture when it means that some people will be soft due to the shallower depth of field.

It’s academic of course, and also entirely subjective, but I don’t agree with this - a 23mm 1.4 would work just fine for a party. Yes the DOF would be narrower at 1.4 but by no means problematic for most shots at a typical distance, and closer a little separation could work well to separate individuals or intimate small groups together. If it was me, and my X-Pro2, that’s the lens I’d be using. Not an option for the OP though obviously.
