What I’d like to see in a future firmware update:

  1. Improved subject tracking autofocus performance that inspires confidence.
  2. An auto subject detection mode where the camera takes a best guess whether the subject is a human, animal, car, train or airplane. If that’s not possible, Fujifilm should combine the human modes with the new subject detection modes.
  3. An option to centre the focus point by clicking the focus lever (like how it’s implemented in the X-T4 and GFX 100S)

#3 is already available. You have to go into your Button/Dial Settings and change the focus lever setting: Focus Lever Setting > Push > Reset to Center.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work the same as on the X-T4/GFX100S. I'd like the ability to click the focus lever in order to adjust the box size and then click again to centre the box. With the setting you mentioned above, the part about being able to adjust the focus box size is no longer there; when clicked, it goes straight to "reset to centre".

Not sure if you're aware, but if you hit disp back any time the focus square it green it will recenter it.  Maybe not the best implementation since it's now a separate button push, but at least it's there.
