Then shouldn't xfs-xtt replace both xfs-tt and xfs rather than
just xfs-tt??

xfstt is a hack; it runs on a different port than xfs.

xfs-xtt is intended to replace xfs and serve up TrueType fonts as well
as the standard X fonts.

xfstt is pretty easy to set up.

xfs-xtt is somewhat difficult to set up, mostly due to lack of
documentation in a language I can read (it's written in Japan).  It
works well though!

xfs-xtt is better for dealing with CJK fonts, and can also do some
transformations (such as bold, slant...)

For western fonts, xfstt is probably enough. I personally use xfs-xtt.
