Rather than reinvent the wheel, I suggest the CO work with Topaz to integrate either Denoise AI or the newer Photo AI. The big issue would be to allow the transfer of RAW images to and from the Topaz software.
I use DxO Photolab with Lightroom Classic, but it does not handle Fujifilm RAW conversion as well as CO, nor is it as good as Topaz's software for noise reduction. I will say that DxO's lens profiles are better than CO's.
