Because I need to use my reading glasses to see any image clearly in an LCD, which I discovered when I bought my first Fuji, an X-A1, I only use the LCD for menus. So, thanks to all of your comments and advice, I tested focus using the LCD with the film simulation set to Acros and peaking set to Red Low. With the LCD, the peaking is clearly visible.

I also verified that the EVF shade is working properly once I remembered to set the view mode from Eye Sensor to Viewfinder Only or Viewfinder+Eye Sensor. I am going back to check all of the EVF settings to see if I can improve the EVF's peaking with the lenses I have and if everything is  set correctly, then I may just be looking at the fact that the X-Pro2's EVF is just not as good as the X-E2's EVF for manual focus.

Again, thanks for all the responses to my questions.
