Quite often, it is difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reading a spec sheet. The picture here will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-E3 and Fujifilm X-M1.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Fujifilm X-E3 to deliver more detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-E3 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
