There's an interesting Japanese (I think) video out there comparing all the X-T bodies 1-5, including AF (especially), high ISO noise, body size and - yes - even shutter sound. For the most part, each shutter seemed to get softer, but the X-T5 sounded mostly different from the X-T4 because it was less distinct. From my perspective, the T5 is clearly softer than the T2 (or T20), so I find it very pleasant. I'm also sensing (perhaps just getting used to the sound) that it gets softer and less noticeable over time.

I'd give it a bit of a wear-in period before coming to a firm conclusion. Of course, I'm almost entirely using EFCS - which is really the best of the E and M shutter options. You might want to go that route to reduce sound.
