> I've heard a few reports of the metal rings supplied wearing through the lugs eventually. Is that a genuine issue?
So Fuji lugs are actually mostly made of a very soft metal, so to compensate for that they put in a sleeve inside the lug that is made of much more durable material. A while back, there was a 'tip' for peak design users to push that sleeve out so that the peak design anchors can fit through the lug. This is the only reported case of lug wear I've seen for newer bodies.
> Does anyone have any recommendations for quick(ish) release camera straps that don't use metal rings (other than peak design)?
There are some cheap alternatives that use plastic buckles (like this: https://www.amazon.com/OP-TECH-USA-Utility-Adjust/dp/B01C5TE1NA), but I fear the buckles are more likely to wear than the peak design straps. You might consider looking at the blackrapid strap (there are knockoffs too). Instead of the lugs, they attach to the tripod mount... so may offer you some increased flexibility. It's also pretty quick to attach/remove but you have to make sure you do so securely.
> I've started looking at mini karabiner type clips to see if I can rig something up myself but need to find decent, strong cord to attach to the lugs themselves.
You're probably going to want to look for what is called "accessory cord" in the rock climbing world. You can find different diameters/colors and they are all rated by the amount of weight they can handle. You can buy custom lengths in most outdoor shops that sell climbing gear. In the US, REI is your best bet. You can also find precut lengths on amazon. I think your challenge with this approach will be finding the right carabiner... large/strong enough to handle the camera weight, but small enough to be unobtrusive and not scratch up your camera body. Do report back if you find anything though =]
I think the extra Sd cards is outdated advice. I would shop around for the max storage that works with your camera. a 32gb card will hold like 1700 pictures in raw. For me thats more than enough. I took 1100 pictures for 5 days at WDW. maybe just a spare in your room.
Also you might try a sling instead of a bag https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C5TE1NA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
but if you are in the market for a new bag https://www.amazon.com/Lowepro-Passport-Sling-III-Protective/dp/B00J8V1INU/ref=sr_1_12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1498703495&sr=1-12&keywords=sling+camera+bag
I've taken both on roller coasters.
