I have shot both, own the X95. Have also shot AUG a fair bit, have one of the new 308
M17s (spectacular trigger on those).
No qualms about the X95. Look at some of the Manticore bits to add on. I love the rounded, longer handguard for example, makes it easy to add a WML. I'd consider it absolutely a viable gun for all social work where a 5.56 will do the trick. Runs great suppressed also, as a well-built AR does: without fussing with gas settings, just works.
I did not love the VHS2 (Hellion). Long LOP that gets longer for some reason. Wide and things stick out. Weird to bad trigger. Springfield effed up the pistol grip for no clear reason, gotta replace that to make it remotely normal (MOE helps a lot) and still safety is sub-optimal.
Remember bullpup: A very short gun has a long barrel. 16" is pretty long, and even without suppressor is not unreasonably blasty or loud for a rifle.
Sight heights have been climbing for a bit for various reasons; my Tavor is not set up much higher than my ARs. Just know your mechanical offsets, practice with it (I run a clone of my 5.56 carbine at IDPA every month to stay close-range offset practiced among other things — they make a 9 mm Tavor also so...) and pick a good zero distance (I am an MPBR guy).
Bullpup gun designers have to deal with this fear of guns exploding; they are therefore the safest things out there. Extra reinforced bits and stuff, the K&M guy did a ruptured case test and the receiver didn't even bulge much less explode, so no more of that.
