I've had issues with rx2 files either not loading, or crashing the app in MacOS, since V8. But eventually things got fixed in V9, and everything seemed to work fine. (At least until I stopped using v9 all-together because of plugin crashes).
However, today I finally upgraded to Waveform 10. I'm very happy with what I'm seeing so far, at least until I noticed that now none of my rx2 files are recognized: every single one triggers a 'can't read this file' error in the timeline. Even worse, when I opened up Waveform 9 to check how things were working there, none of the rx2 files are recognized there as well. (The same files work fine when imported into Studio One).
I'm finally getting the hint to just use wav or aiff loops from here on out, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with the dozens of songs in the backlog built up around rx2 drum loops?
Are rx2 loops still supported?

Well, I installed v10 on my MacBook running Windows 10 through bootcamp... and the rx2 files seem to be working fine. So is it a Mac/Mojave thing? (I just loath the 2017 27' iMac I use as my main system for development needs: easily the glitchiest machine I've ever used).
The laptop isn't setup for music production, but at least in an emergency I could copy over and open up the songs just to render out the drum tracks.

It happens in Windows 10 too and it's been like that in Waveform 8-Waveform 10. In another thread about REX files they said it wasn't really high on the priority list since there weren't a lot of complaints. It sux. For old Waveform projects that use REX files I just render each REX file as I put them in the arrangement. For any new projects that I plan on using REX files, I just use Studio One or make other plans.
