I wouldn't pay much attention to problems people mention about it unless they are mentioned by people who have actually spent time with the camera.

I spend a lot of time with my X-Pro3 and I had the issue. Your day will come. It is not wise to tell other not to think about an issue that is reality. If you use your LCD on the X-Pro3, it will fail. I no longer use mine after I had it fixed.

My two cents...buy an used x-pro2, IQ is about the same (and better in low light), you pay an half and you have the same results. I know x photographers who show them in spots with x-pro3 and make the job with the x-pro2. Said that, x-pro3 is a great camera but I never found a good reason to change my pro2. OVF is better but it lacks of the wide options, AF is a bit better (in AF-C). Probably the only two things I really like are the sim classic-neg and the flip screen for shooting from the hip (that I usually do). Now for the shooting from the hip you have to use flip screen...and if it has issues...don't know, I never found a good reason also if I like it. Probably I'll wait x-pro4.
