How would one specify the font size in LMTX, but via x-height? I know this
is a simple scaling, but I wonder if it could be done automatically?

Sincerely,
Stefan

You could try this:

     \starttexdefinition setxheight [#1][#2]
         \switchtobodyfont[#1, 12pt]
         \switchtobodyfont[#1, \cldcontext{tex.sp"#2" / tex.sp"1ex" * tex.sp"1em" .. "sp"}]
     \stoptexdefinition

Demo:

     \starttexdefinition setxheight [#1][#2]
         \switchtobodyfont[#1, 12pt]
         \switchtobodyfont[#1, \cldcontext{tex.sp"#2" / tex.sp"1ex" * tex.sp"1em" .. "sp"}]
     \stoptexdefinition
     
     \define[1]\sample{%
         \setxheight[#1][10pt] Hello%
     }
     
     \setuppapersize[letter, landscape]
     
     \starttext
         \dontleavehmode\rlap{\vrule width\textwidth height 10.5pt depth -10pt}%
         \processcommalist[modern, pagella, termes, heros, bonum, scholas, adventor, cursor, chorus, dejavu]\sample
     \stoptext

This is kind of a hacky solution though. It works reasonably well,
although there's likely a better (perhaps builtin?) way to do this.

One slight problem is when I use 2\measured{xheight} as the font size I get
an error. \measure works fine though.

The old version expected direct input, not a \dimen. Try this:

     \starttexdefinition setxheight [#1][#2]
         \switchtobodyfont[#1, 12pt]
         \scratchdimen=\dimexpr#2\relax
         \switchtobodyfont[#1, \cldcontext{tex.dimen.scratchdimen / tex.sp"1ex" * tex.sp"1em" .. "sp"}]
     \stoptexdefinition

     \definemeasure[xheight][2.5pt]

     \starttext
         \setxheight[adventor][10\measured{xheight}] Hello!
     \stoptext
