IMO it’s all subjective but to answer your question I feel like generally speaking the Fuji X camera’s are fine for most types of imagery. Looking at your picture it appears to be mostly fine but I’m viewing on an iPhone Plus model right now. I’ve long noticed that the greens tend to be a bit over saturated with a slight tint towards blue - but that’s just Fuji color IMO. They’ve always been that way to me but it’s aestetically pleasing.
I think finding the right processor is pertinent to working with Fuji X since they’ve elected to use a different CFA. I don’t agree that it makes them worse... just different processing methods are implemented. Iridient seems to be the best overall but the interface is clunky in a sense but if they added a capable DAM and updated the UI it would be my processor of choice. The output really can be that good. Capture 1 is great too but it isn’t a comprehensive solution for all if you decide to add the GFX system as well. Luminar does a good job with output but the interface takes a little getting used to. Affinity Photo is an extremely good Photoshop alternative but again - no DAM. Lightroom is the de facto standard in that it will eventually support most cameras but there’s little specialized attention to file processing to squeez the last amount of detail.
As far as landscape photography (and portraits) this is where higher resolution tends to matter more in the final output. Between owning Sony, Canon, Leica, and Panasonic cameras and testing Olympus, Fuji, and Nikon one’s - I’d say that Sony has had the most neutral and accurate color out of the camera than any other camera brand I’ve tried but that doesn’t mean it’s always the most aesthetically pleasing color for everyone in all situations.
