Thank you everyone for your help and direction. If anyone else has ideas I havent thought of, feel free to share. And I have decided to send the camera in for Fujifilm to check, with an open mind that there is a natural AF keeper rate. I love my XT5 (had it for two months) and yeah, keep shooting, folks!

The odd thing about these shots, are that they are always landscapes - I am standing still and the subject is!

I had not considered AF keeper rates! Certainly this does put things into perspective. I would imagine extreme quality control for a company like Fujifilm, and moving from Nikon, I can say I have never had this experience before with the Nikon F6 or DF (on any lenses). I remain optimistic and pleased with the many excellent pictures I am capable to capture! It is just nice to have the soundness of mind that "near-perfection" in AF offers, which at least one other brand, Nikon, has offered me, anecdotally. I can't jump to conclusions, of course, and rule out my own user error, but I have noticed blurry shots corner to corner consistently. I will update when I send the camera in to have the company check it out! Thank you jerryy for your care, knowledge, and insight!

I am almost always recomposing shots, yes. What would half-press delay do? I will rent another lens and check it out. Thank you Abmet!

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.
