The Z50 does not have a sensor cleaning feature (unlike the FX Z cameras).
Regarding the shutter: in the custom functions menu 'd4' you can choose between fully mechanical shutter or electronic front curtain shutter. Or, let the camera choose 'depending on the shooting conditions'... however neither the manual nor the camera help texts give any hint under what conditions the camera chooses which shutter type.
Also, by setting the camera to 'silent shooting' in the shooting menu, you can force the camera to use a fully electronic shutter.
When the 16-50 VR is mounted, the mechanical shutter option is greyed out in custom function d4, so I assume with this lens the only available choices are either eletronic front curtain or fully electronic shutter (by enabling silent mode).
Regarding your X-T20: I don't see any advantage in moving to a Z50. The 16-50 is a cheap plastic kit zoom, there are no dedicated DX primes, so if you're into primes you'd have to carry the rather big and heavy FX ones, much bigger than the 'Fujicrons'. And lastly: I don't think you'd be faster switching from manual ISO to auto-ISO on the Z50
Talking about it: you can set the Fn-button on the X-T20 do bring up ISO-choices... including 'AUTO' at the bottom of the list. Seems like a very fast way to switch to me.
