If in doubt then go Sony but the CSM menu system and user interface are rubbish compared with Nikon and they dont do firmware upgrades they just release a new model. But when it works it does work exceptionally well.
For me I think APS-C (DX) is the new FX so it is about your skills rather than what the camera can do. Just look at what Jeff gets out of his 4/3 format with his shots. If you capture it right then everything is less work.
Also sensors' IQ have improved considerably in the last 5 years.
Take a look at the XT4 with its better battery and IBIS. I have the XH1 and XT3 with latest firmware so AF is pretty good. Not as good as D850 or D500 but certainly as good as D3.
I actually find the Sony user interface somewhat similar to Fuji, although I agree the menu system is a bit heavy.
However, I only need 6 readily accessible parameters on a camera and these are all configurable on the external buttons.Most of the stuff in the menus I will never use.
Surely the key to Jeff's 4/3 success is the 2x multiplication factor enabling greater frame filling ...and Jeff's innate skill!
Without the onboard multiplication factor we would have to resort to post process cropping and DX images don't crop as well as FX.
The 4/3 also compounds the wide end problem already seen with DX.
If 14-24 is you photography flavour, FX will always win out. Whereas there is no doubt the lighter weight 4/3 multiplication factor is more useful, carrying camera equipment out and about for wildlife.
