I agree with Emral that TheXTech2 isn't really possible, and it's not really my goal to make TheXTech capable of playing X2 content. X2 itself is already ideal for that on computers, and the most popular non-computer target for TheXTech is handheld consoles that are too weak to support X2 episodes in any case.
Justin Bieber Fan, the features you mentioned (except for the title screen) are only possible because of the limitations of TheXTech (vs X2). Even if we add scripting to TheXTech (which some community members want), it'll be way more limited than X2's scripting.
Deice, I'm with you that convergence of the two engines isn't really desirable. My personal instinct is that (for the sake of long-term content preservation) we should eventually port X2 to C++ so we're not tied to Wintel, but even so I don't think X2 will ever run on something weaker than a Switch.
