Get Real (you coming from R6 AF excellence) ...
2

If you have a budget of around $2500 and are coming from an excellent AF camera (in both AF-C and AF-S modes) ...

You should ideally get X-H2s (or X-H2 if you must have more MPs).

I was a Canon EOS shooter for more than 25+ years, only changing to Fuji X System in around 2015, because it was clear that Canon and Nikon were going 'simmer mode' with their move to mirrorless.

The R5 / R6 / R3 bodies are what I (DIDN'T) wait many years for (thankfully), instead enjoying X100S, X-E2, X-T2 (at this time selling off all of my considerable collection of Canon gear) ... and finally very happy with X-H1. The X-H1 was / is however still way behind Canon, Nikon and especially now Sony with AF-C tracking performance.

So I have just treated myself to an X-H2s body. SUPER jump in AF performance .... but really this is the ONLY obvious area of leap over X-T2/3/4 and my X-H1.

For my low-light BIF photography (esp. barn owls) - it is (almost literally) a night and day leap forward

An X-T5 will give you more money towards glass

An X-T4 will still get you into the newer battery size (and will give you even more $ towards glass)
