I am underwhelmed by my 4K TV and maybe X1X already has the GPU power for 9th gen.

Need more information on panel sizes, panel type, distance from panel, connection method and so on to really make a proper assessment on whether 4k is going to be a decent jump for you.

Xbox One X likely does have the GPU power for a low-end next-gen console, it's the other aspects where it certainly falls short though.

Pretty much this.

 

I feel like next gen we will see a much smaller focus on better visuals than we have been seeing from gen to gen.  I mean people were ready disappointed with 7th gen into 8th gen, so the focus needs a shift to remain relevant.

 

I feel like games will focus more on special effects, AI,  physics , and world immersion.  This means a huge leap in CPU levels compared to the underpowered jumps we have recieved in the past, and the X1X is still lacking in this aspect serverly to be even a low end next gen console.  Like you said, while the GPU is able to get the job done, that is likely not what people are even concerned about.
