Fujifilm needs to update the rest of their lenses that don't resolve to match the new 40mp sensor. Given their limited R&D and manufacturing capacity, I'm wondering what will be prioritized. Will they work on new cameras with the new sensor or update more lenses?

Not sure that is necessary, but I agree that it would be welcome. Here is a quote from the Amateur Photographer review of the XT5:

"Clearly, some Fujifilm users might be concerned about whether their existing lenses will be sharp enough for the 40MP sensor, especially after the firm released a list of those required to get the most from it. But my advice would be not to worry about it. You’ll never get worse results from any given lens with a higher resolution sensor; instead, it’s just a question of whether the extra detail you record is fully proportional to the increased pixel count. If you’re happy with the lenses you’ve got, they’ll still work fine on the X-T5. And that 40MP resolution gives so much scope for cropping if you need it."

Although I mostly use a 16-55/f2.8 on my XT5, I sometimes use my older 18-55, which is not on this marketing ploy list, and it performs just fine.

Actually, you could get worse results. A lens which cannot resolve to a point smaller than the pixel size on the sensor will cause diffraction at all apertures. That would make it impossible to achieve any high contrast lines in the image.

Err, no, I certainly do not get worse results using my 18-55 on the XT5 than I got when using it on my XT3/4. Of course, I get slightly better results when using my 16-55, but that is the case for both my XT3/4 and now my XT5.

So, I do not understand your comment that I get worse results. Could you explain?
