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

Re: [NTG-context] Specifying font size as x-height
One slight problem is when I use 2\measured{xheight} as the font size I get
an error. \measure works fine though.

Re: [NTG-context] Specifying font size as x-height
How would one specify the font size in LMTX, but via x-height?
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.

[NTG-context] Specifying font size as x-height
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?
