However, the X-T2 does have a near-equivalent of the Nikon DSLR "non-CPU lens data," which is called the "mount adapter setting." It is designed for use with Leica lenses and does not allow the aperture to be recorded; but it has the flexibility to be used with any focal length, and it can be added to "My Menu" for immediate access.
Here is my final set of images from Sunday at Hemer Park, all taken with my X-T2 and, respectively, the 55 f/1.2 SC, the 24 f/2.8 NC, and the 55 again. I'm gradually familiarizing myself ith ON1 Photo RAW and liking it better than Lightroom+Nik plugins in a number of ways, mainly having to do with the many adjustments and filters that are available, the wide range of masking methods available, and the ability to stack adjustments and filters in layers. It has some weak points, but in general it takes the best of Lightroom and the best of Photoshop, adds the equivalent of several plugins and combines all of this in a very user-friendly package. It also works better with Fuji files than the Adobe products and, as I have mentioned before, it costs only $80 for a permanent license (by the way, that is an introductory price that may soon expire). [Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with ON1; I'm just sharing my enthusiasm about this new-to-me software.]
