Title should have "Makita" in it, not everyone knows "LXT".

I wish kobalt would do compact versions of their tools, i find myself reaching for my brushed bosch 12V way too often, but have no desire to start up another battery system.

I have these and they work great. A lot of power for subcompact tools. Just be aware that the 1.5ah batteries do not have a battery gauge

Go watch some YouTube videos, from what I've seen Milwaukee fuel is ahead on performance but to each their own

Does this drill have a mechanical clutch? The Project Farm youtube channel showed in some reviews that mechanical clutches work better for light and small fasteners so as to not strip or over-tighten them.

Also, would larger batteries fit on these tools...and would this charger charge larger Makita batteries?

What are the individual model numbers of the drill and driver?

Yes, the higher capacity batteries will fit. Yes the drill has a mechanical clutch and 2 speed switch. The impact driver also has speed/auto mode and a ramp up feature to get started before going full speed. That ramp up does take a little getting used to coming from other impact drivers. The batteries on mine do have a gauge on the rear.

I would get whichever platform you want the tool in. I have not seen any direct comparisons of these, probably because this Makita subcompact is in 18V platform vs 12V Fuel you mentioned. Despite being on the 18V platform, this Makita is a lot like a 12V tool (by design) as it is narrower like 12V tools and intended to be used for lighter duty situations.

For me, I don't see the need for the compact impact tools, because other than being narrower, they aren't smaller than higher powered impacts (often they are longer or the same legth), and even the weight differences are very small. But the performance compromise for these compact tools is pretty large in comparison to higher-powered impacts. Consider these if you already have a more powerful impact, but have a need for a narrower tool, at the expense of torque/speed.
