The EVF side is. Doesn’t much matter for the OVF in 35mm eq. On the x100s the overlay will show the capture area. For the xpro you probably need to use the EVF for a telephoto but I haven't had experience with them.
Rangefinder has its limitations but so does having to have a mirror box.
A lot of mirrorless advantage is the larger lens mounts with the glass much closer to the sensor. Plus adapters that can take a bunch of different lens mounts.
If living with the mirror box then some sort of flip up or sliding EVF that goes in front of the OVF in the viewfinder would work. But you would need to have the live view speed of a mirrorless like the D780 vs the slow as heck live view on a D750 to take advantage.
One of those hoods would be fine if you don’t mind the bulk if the live view isn’t contrast detect and slow.
At any rate it’ll probably end up being expensive and have a niche market.
The X100 line is a fun set of cameras to use. The latest finally being weather sealed.
