I guess that for a naturally sounding instrument you will just have to keep
the x-fade amount as large enough to get the transition from one zone to
another happening all smooth, while keeping it as small as possible to avoid
phasings or "doubled" note artifacts.

But then, this is just a physical limitation and I don't think that any
softsampler could offer a solution to it.
