Need advice : XF 16-50 or keep current setup?

Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded from the X-T30 II to the X-T50 because I wanted something compact that I’ll actually take with me every day/travel/city trips.

Now I’m doubting if I should also get the XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 WR or if my current lenses are already enough, especially because I keep reading that the XF 16-50 performs better on the newer 40MP sensors.

Current lenses:
- XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6
- XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4
- TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 pancake

Would the XF 16-50 actually give noticeably better image quality for my use case, or is it mostly better build quality/WR/autofocus?

Here are some examples of the type of photos I made with my xt30ii and I think the most of these are taking with the xc 15-45mm because it is so light and compact.

Would love to hear your experiences or advice on the lens, thank you so much!
