Usually, its tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-T30 and S1R.
Clearly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-T30 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Panasonic S1R will render greater detail using its extra 21MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively.
