Yes, there are several display modes to choose from on the 2, so if you don't want to use the eye sensor that's perfectly doable.
And even if you do use the eye sensor, it's very snappy and hasn't annoyed me when using it.

The eye sensor on the X100T annoyed me greatly. On the X-T2 it was a minor annoyance and on the X-T3 it's actually good. So that sounds like an argument for an X-Pro3, actually.

Maybe it has something to do with my wearing glasses, or maybe I'm just inpatient, or maybe it's that I subconsciously expect an analog-like immediacy from an OVF.

I don't use glasses, so I can't comment on how that changes things, although I usually use my X-Pro2 in a mode where the LCD is off and the viewfinder is always on.

Whenever I use the eye sensor mode, I don't notice any delay or lag in the OVF turning on.

Keep in mind that the OVF is different between the 2 and the 3; the 3 has a larger and brighter OVF, but the 2 has two magnification levels while the 3 only has one.
This may or may not be of importance to you.
The EVF should also be better on the 3, afaik.
