That's why you bracket. :) Slide film can't take a joke! :)
Looking at your second and third shots, your highlights look like they're right at the knee of the saturation point. If you would have exposed one stop greater, you would indeed have better shadow detail but highlights that were most likely totally blown out, as in stark white with no tone or texture.
"Fuji Blue" is what I call it. :) :) :) Many Fuji films, both reversal and negative, have deep blues and I like it that way. :)

Well, for 1024px images on the web they look fine on this monitor.
There's no obvious banding in there, at least that I can see. No obvious scanning noise, at least at this resolution. The darks are dark and the highlights are light and only maybe blown to saturation at the front end of the train. I obviously don't have the original slide, so I can't compare to see if some of the shadow detail on the second one under the canopy is down into the mud.
You also didn't say if you did any level/color correction, but to me the colors look good. I can't tell things like if the greens in the third one are properly rendered.
Slide film in general, including all of the Fuji lines, will not have the dynamic range of color negative films, and ditto for the current-technology digital sensors so the "look and feel" of the film may not be what you're used to.
I might suggest two critical comparisons. 1. Do the slides properly render the scenes in real life? 2. Do the scans properly render the slides? You can test for 2 by viewing the slide on a light table or via a projector and comparing those views to the scans.
Hope this helps.
