Is the better sensor in the XE4 worth the trade off ya reckon in terms of ergos?
Like the look of them. Watched a vid that said the XS10 is similar, but tons more buttons.

I haven’t used the new sensor myself but from what I can gather image quality is pretty much indistinguishable between the two, low light auto focus is improved and you get some different film simulations.
I don’t think the lack of buttons would bother me, it has shutter speed and exposure comp on the body, aperture on the lens and you can map iso to the front dial, then you have a couple of buttons to assign to whatever you use most.
XS10 is more DSLR style, has a PASM dial and I think it has IBIS.
Basically within each generation of cameras they all have the same sensor whether you buy the flagship or the entry level model so you always get the same image quality. You just have to choose which body style suits you the best.

I made my first foray into Fuji cameras last year and picked up an XE3 with the 35mm f1.4 and have been really happy with it. Image quality is excellent and the controls are really intuitive. Auto focus is ok, a bit slow with the older lenses like mine - but not dreadful.
The only thing I'd say is to try and handle one if you can, while it's great that they're so compact and portable, I find it a bit small for my hands. They make grips and thumb rests etc which help but I'm planning to trade in for an X Pro2/3 at some point. XE4 is a bit of a departure in terms of controls, quite a few of the custom buttons have been removed so the operation is even simpler, if you like mapping things to buttons the older bodies are they way to go.
