Why not shoot Acros JPEG on your XT30 and do it in camera? I am not a huge fan of grain yet understand it can help add to some contrast or depth especially in B&W photos. Have you tried Capture One? It has 6 adjustable grain settings and does a pretty decent job matching the film sims. Of course you can also use layers and sections to apply it in region you care to. Not content aware but I would prefer to make my own choices and not some form of AI.

I have Acros on my X-T3 but I would have to buy a X-Pro3 to get better control of grain size and maybe even strength.  What I am getting in my X-T3 is a grain structure far too small for my tastes, although it is pleasing.

I agree with you that Acros JPG in-camera is definitely content-aware.
