To sum up, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-A2 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Panasonic GX9 will produce greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-A2 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
