Yes, U2 uses Xy4's WfW conversion filters. If there is anything more
recent that converts XyWrite-like formatting to RTF, I would imagine
it's whatever comes with Nota Bene for Windows, which of course costs
money. And I am at a disadvantage to help here as I've never used
Ansified XyWrite.

I know that Edward has written a suite of conversion filters for
WordPerfect-DOS files. Maybe he could provide a pointer or two. Edward?
