Probably not coming. It seems as though Fuji's marketing strategy for their newer cameras is to adopt new film sims in the new cameras and withhold the new sims from the older cameras. It makes sense if you think about it.

There is also the element of the research required to confirm that any new additions would be compatible with the older cameras.

Even still, I think Fuji is more reasonable with kaizen than other manufacturers, so I won't complain about not getting the newer film sims in my older cameras.

Also, although cumbersome, there are workarounds where you can use the newer film sims with the older cameras in post.

We're talking about the exact same sensor and imaging engine.  I can sort of see the argument vis a vis previous gen cameras like the X-T2 and H1, but there isn't any technical reason why the cameras running the same CPU shouldn't get the newer film sims.

That's as separate from marketing reasons why the older cameras won't get the new sims.
