I do not think adding this will help you much, but it may give you some perspective. After reading your posts in this thread several times to make certain I am not missing anything, the numbers you are reporting are in line with those reported across the broad range of digital cameras by various manufacturers. Nikon, Canon, Sony, Leica, Fujifilm, etc. Use your favorite search engine to lookup (brand) af keeper rate. People are reporting af keeper rates now in the high ninety range. You will find page after page of tips and technique improvements for improving the keeper rate. As well as page after page from the manufacturers touting their new camera models with improved af keeper rates. af is vastly improved, but it still is not perfect. It maybe that there is something slightly wrong with either your camera body or the lens, but I suspect that if you send it in to get it checked, it probably will be okay. Getting a new XH2 will make your camera dealer happy and it is a fantastic camera, but, …, getting it solely in hopes of better keeper rates is probably wishful hoping. For what it worth, (more of what you probably do not want to hear) back in the film days, a af keeper rate over 50% was considered great. Those expensive film rolls certainly did not hold the thousands of shots memory cards hold. I very well understand the thought of maybe missing that one shot, try when possible to push the shutter button several times, those cards hold a lot of shots and it is easy to delete the extras. I hope you get this resolved in a way you like. -
I’ve had my X-T5 since launch and usually my missed focus shots are moving and using continuous focus. I suppose it’s possible I’ve experienced this too but have just assumed I missed the shot or usually it’s lower light shots I notice most missed focus. It seems like you’ve checked a lot of my thoughts that could be (release priority, AF+MF, face detection on, touch screen focus). Do you ever half press shutter to recompose? Could it be you half press and have slight delay before fully pressing? Wonder if you could rent another lens and see if experience same issues. I haven’t had my 16-55 mkii that long so I’ll watch for this more closely. Wish I could help more. -
Just a post to let anyone who takes infra-red know that the new 16-55mm II behaves well, unlike the 16-80, which is soft in IR. I have an X-T2 converted to 720nm. There is no hotspot. I am delighted with the lens performance on my X-T5 too. It is sharp, even at f2.8, reaching its best at f5.6. An A3 print from a crop is no problem, which means that I don't miss the greater reach of the 16-80 much. The autofocus is fast and positive and unlike the original the lens is acceptable in size and weight, at least for me. I had trouble gathering the money together but it was worth it. Highly recommended. -

No I have not experienced the issue you are having unless I have focused wrongly
