Limits to use of Acros film simulation in X-T3?

On page 260 of Rico Pfirstinger's book "Fuji X Secrets" there is a discussion of film grain in the Acros film simulation for X-Processor 4. He states that "the grain even fills areas with blown highlights and blocked shadows, creating a smooth transition between textured and blocked/blown image areas." Then, he goes on to say: "Sadly, X-Processor 4 in the X-T3 doesn't offer this particular "soft clipping" quality...."

I wonder if anyone here knows anything further about this and whether or not it poses a serious limit on the usefulness of the Acros simulation in the X-T3. I have not been able to contact the author about this.
