Either your camera or lens is defective or you could be setting something incorrectly. What level of experience do you have with photography? ILC cameras like an XT5 assume the operator is skilled, and the settings allow for a wide variety of choices. If you aren't familiar with settings and modes, it's quite easy to take bad photos with a good camera. You should become familiar with your camera before accepting paid work. For example, one setting is Focus Priority vs Release Priority. When set for release priority, the camera will take a photo as soon as you press the button. If it's set to focus priority, the camera will not function the shutter until focus is confirmed. If you set AF+MF to ON, then you get release priority, even if the camera is set to focus priority. There are many other modes that affect how the autofocus behaves. Continuous vs single vs manual mode, face detection, pet detection, etc. Another problem is if your shutter speed is too slow, the image will appear blurry even if it is focused correctly. If the ISO is too high, the image will be blurry even if everything else is correct. If you choose the wrong aperture, your images can be blurry. For one of your images that is "bad", maybe post it here with EXIF data so we can offer advice? Also, maybe watch this video -
X-T5 is a very good camera, I don’t have any issues with it and it takes great images. I would not change it for anything else that is available now, for me it works just fine. Fuji lenses are fantastic lenses. What FW version are you on ? -

Glad to hear the light coming in from the left is just what gets around the lens cap. I think lens caps are just for protecting the lens, and don't promise to achieve total darkness for experiments or whatever else. As to bad pixels, well, I don't know. I kind of ignore the issue and hope the camera is managing to hide them from me, as otherwise it's just going to make me mad not being able to fix them. I'd be interested to hear how expensive it is to "fix" them (meaning replace the sensor). Also, I think of them as something that only happens during sensor manufacture, but I wonder if there's anything the user does that influences having more or fewer of them. -
Here is what works for me, on my X-S20: Before connecting the USB cable, put the vamera in Vlog mode and select Auto Power Off to "OFF" in the Power Settings menu. Then turn off the camera, connect the USB cable, and turn it on. I am using the Fujifilm X webcam driver that can be downloaded from https://www.fujifilm-x.com/products/software. Note that putting the camera in any other mode than Vlog, or setting Auto Power Off to anything other than OFF, will cause the camera to power off automatically after a while. This is a more than questionable design choice for Fuji - not to call it a bug - as nobody in their right mind would expect a webcam to automatically power off while being used. Remember to set Auto Power Off back to your favorite choice once you are done using it as a webcam. Another thing to keep in mind is that the camera seems to be drawing power from its battery, rather than the USB port, while being used as a webcam. This is not documented in the owner's manual. So I strongly recommend you use a dummy battery with an AC adapter instead of the battery. -
I also get none of the problems you experience. You should get your camera checked out.
