Right, there are no XML files any longer. Xfce's Terminal package still has one (because it was built a while ago) but the value is not picked up. gnome-terminal no longer provides an XML file. I looked for a X-GNOME-* key in gnome-terminal.desktop, but no luck either. It seems like exec-flag/exec-arg only live in the schema you linked and it is no longer possible for a developer/maintainer to deliver a working configuration for other terminals. Is that correct?
