You can play X without playing 1-3. I can't speak to how the new content connected to that stuff, but at least the base game only has a few fanservice-y connections.
Do not play 3 without playing 1 AND 2 (and the DLC).
I say this as someone who started XBC1 two summers ago, played each game in sequence but played X at release. Unless the final chapters for DE have some serious connections to 1-3, it's much less direct
Once I get over my farming/live sim and factory game kick, I think XBC is next on my list so I would probably do 1 through 3 including the DLC for 2, and after that pick up XBCX when it's on sales at some point. So I guess that would be Switch release order.
