Fuji X-Trans users: What is the consensus on using LR to process Fujifilm X-Trans RAW files?

Operating System:MacOS
Exact Lightroom Version: Classic 7.1
I am considering a Mirrorless camera, specifically the Fujifilm X-E3. Can I get excellent results using an all LR workflow? What is the current opinion on LRs ability to handle the X-Trans sensor data, specifically the Fujifilm X-E3?

Also I am looking for opinions on the Iridient Developer software and the Iridient X-Transformer Fujifilm RAF to DNG conversion utility.

I think it's one of those "blind man would like to see it" situations. It's visible if you pixel peep and you're looking for it, but when was the last time someone walked round your house with a magnifying glass examining the leaves in a beautiful landscape? On a billboard, it might notice a little more, but if people are looking that hard at the minutest of details, then the question is why the photo isn't good enough to hold their attention.

Hi Victoria,

Yes, I think you are spot on. I suppose one can get carried away with a level of detail with the danger that it transcends the actual reason for view an image. I've seen beautiful work which is out of focus. Technical aspirations should be second to artistic flair (unless we are talking about a technical piece of photography such as copywork etc!).

Thanks for your enlightening comments.

For those of us, who have not an artistic bone and have to rely on technical knowledge, I have to disagree!
