Ok, so I won't worry about autofocus, which is great.

But what about other corrections (distortion etc.)? X-E2 is not listed on the Sigma compatibility list

The list includes similar cameras (like X-T10). Is there any reason X-E2 might not work, while other X-Trans II cameras do?

The reason it is not on the list is that they can't test every single camera on the planet that's it, they didn't have X-E2 at hand. It isn't on the list with "this camera doesn't support this lens" badge, it is just missing from the list because they couldn't test it, xpro1 is similarly missing.

Corrections is a question of if Sigma bothers doing them. Sigmas whole thing is oversized lenses, that weight a ton because they are optically corrected.

Some manufacturers have included lens-optimization in their firmware, some haven't, so that is more up to the air.
