While the 2014 rails "seem" to fit and lock down they are not an exact match so I probably wouldn't trust them on the 2024.
Are there alternatives to the OEM roof rails?

Yes, the newThule EVO bars and towers. They bring the height of the box down around an inch vs the X1 specific Thule \ BMW assembled package. Probably are quieter too since the box is closer to the car.
That said, you could probably go with your old towers and longerThule Aero Bars.
I had the 1st gen X1 too. I think my old bars were 207s and the new X needed 213s? Going from memory so not sure. Size the 2 cars on the Thule site
and compare part numbers. It'll be clear what you need.
The box is a full sized Ski box and it's set so the hatch opens fully without touching. It barely overhangs the windshield. The sunroof tilts up ok
