the X-T2 is a very capable camera indeed and I've happily used mine for 4 years. It was my first venture into Fuji (and mirrorless) coming from an extensive Canon full frame setup and I've never looked back.
I guess it very much depends on what you consider a "decent zoom". I have and love my 50-140 2.8 and it's definitely my workhorse on the X-H1. It's great for my type of photography but probably on the long end for anything indoors.
However, this opinion changed when I was in Kenya where this lens was clearly lacking focal length (even with the 1.4 extender) and I was super happy I brought the 100-400 lens as well.
There's no need to get all the gear at once of course, I'd recommend to first get a body together with a lens that will cover your main need. Use it for a couple of weeks / months and it'll become clear which type of lens you'll want to get next.
If you feel like you can't get close enough to your subject, you can start looking at a telezoom lens. If you experience the opposite, where you can't get enough of the surroundings within your frame, you'll probably want to get more of a wide angle orientated lens.
