Sadly you can only pick one between having a small and light kit or fast and amazing glass and this applies no matter which system you buy into.

I will say that your post has me looking at the planned changes to my kit in a completely different light and now I'm looking at a third option to consider which would consist of just the 16/1.4, 30/2.8, 56WR, and 70-300, especially since the 30/2.8 has shown itself to be the prefect one lens solution for backpacking. Upgrading to an X-Pro4 would yield a full WR kit at just under 5lbs, a backpacking kit of under 2lbs, and a walkaround travel kit of the 16&56 at 3lbs which is very appealing to me and inline with what I'm trying to achieve with the other options with one less lens to keep track of and a completely uniform filter size outside of the macro.

That's a lot of glass. Looking at those lenses, why not try the unthinkable and just use the 16/1.4 and the 56/1.2? You might know how close the 16/1.4 focuses, right?
