Anyone else had problems with their X-H2?

I've had an X-H2 since last November after owning an X-T4, X-S10, X-T3, and X-T20. I've never had issues with any of my cameras. However, I have experienced a lot of smaller hardware and software issues with my X-H2 that it's starting to build up into a bigger problem. I'm wondering whether any of these problems are common or have I just had bad luck?

1. Screen failure (screens flicking on and off) - eventually this led to a complete failure.
2. Lock ups when pressing the shutter button - requiring battery to be removed to reset.
3. Focus false positives – especially in subject detection. The camera will say the subject is in focus with a green box but the subject is completely out of focus.
4. 2.4Ghz wifi module failure - requiring the camera to be dismantled to reconnect module.
5. Battery door weather sealing warping (likely due to being dismantled to repair wifi module), requiring replacement.

The camera was replaced by the retailer after the first issue, then the new body has experienced the other issues with Fuji Professional Services carrying out repairs..

Just to give you my random datapoint and to share my experience as an X-H2 owner from launch ...

I have run into #2 and #3. I have-not run into #2 since the last firmware update (v. 1.21) but it's not that long yet. #3 has shown up with subject detect modes - but not in simple AF-S or AF-C modes without subject detection. I have never run into #1 or #4 or #5.

The flickering LCD screen in #1 is worrisome. Battery door on my X-H2 is perfectly normal - but it should be an easy replacement. I haven't tried the WiFi connection ever (#4).

Good luck and I hope you get it all sorted out with Fuji to your satisfaction! It sounds like they're working with you on sorting it all out.

I'm okay with my not quite perfect (yet functional) X-H2 - but I don't have a warped battery door lol.
