Look - and sorry - I dont know the Fujifilm system at all but basic TTL flash is just so easy with most systems that I suggest you look see what is available.

You can experiment later with manual control of the flash but TTL does give you a good starting point,

The most important thing is getting good diffusion of the flash output,  You can get cheap strap on diffusers for most heads.

I think LED arrays do work as panels  off camera but you are talking about having to setup a lighting system rather than just an on camera solution,

If you have good diffusion then an on-camera flash with TTL can work well.
