First, truly RAW files, unlike fuji's cooked ones, secondly 'correct' colors, and finally higher resolution for prints.

there are times that I'm seriously tempted on buying a X100T, the AF is just so fast and accurate compared to my X100 but X-Trans and 16MP is holding me off.

I love my X100 but I feel like 12MP is small now a days but I love its CMOS sensor compared to X-Trans.
really curious to see what Fuji is going to announce in April but I hope a 20+MP X100 is in the works in the next 2 years.
overall though I'm still impressed at what the X100 can do 3 years after 3 years of existence

Before I knew what color correction and color balance was, I was completely blind to color cast. So, people would say why is the photo I have taken look yellow or magenta or green. That is how I learned the hard way how to color correct my images.
Without technical knowledge of photography, there is always those moments when one feels out of one's depth. Some people don't mind that, I on the other hand feel that if I have invested so much time into this activity, at least I should know its ABC.

There is a lot of detail in X100 highlights.

I never noticed a significant difference in AWB for any of my Fujifilm X-Series cameras. But then I never noticed ant vagaries either. Perhaps thats because I never use JPEGs and the AWB renders well in LR for the kind of work I do.
I don't think Fujifilm's current face detection implimentation handles kids well. I tried it on the X-T1 with the 35/1.4 at f 2.8 when practicing for a gig (same venue and light as the event I would be shooting) and couldn't figure out the circumstances when it worked well (about 1/2 the time) and failed. To be complete I did not put a lot of effort into understanding how to get the most from face detection. Instead I bounced a flash f 5.6 with focus and recompose. This generated crisp results every time. This is what I did with the D200/300 and 700 as well for kids indoors.
The OOC BW rendering could be different...well above ISO 1600. I have read many reports that XTrans II cameras apply different (less aesthetic) in-camera noise filtering at high ISOs.
I presume the difference has to do with the in-camera rendering algorithms as opposed to data stream differences. The XTrans II camera CPUs are quicker so more complicated algorithms are possible. Or maybe Fujifilm just decided to change the algorithms to make it seem performance at very high ISOs improved. Either way, they seem to have made matters worse for high-ISO JPEG users.

Exactly how are they cooked?
Are they cooked at all ISOs?
Can you share raw file data (not images) statistical analyses that show the files are cooked?
The Bill Claff's analyses of Xtrans raw data doesn't show any sort of manipulation. I speak specifically of spatial Fourier transform analysis designed to reveal raw data filtering and other tests for compression.
Without data I think you are wrong. The raw files are as "true" as those from any brand.
