Is there going to be Fritz-X for dive bombers?

Let's see from the historical point of view first... according to the trusty(?) wikia, a single Fritz X weighed about 1300 kg. If we are talking carrier-based bombers at the era, it was way too much to carry. B7A Ryusei had max payload of 800 kg. D4Y Suisei could carry 500 kg of ordnance by design, but had also been fitted to carry 800 kg bombs for "special attack" (aka kamikaze). SB2C Helldiver could only carry 900 kg, and TBF Avenger also had similar payload. Not to mention that this bomb was basically, radio-controlled. Meaning, it would require a dedicated crew to control it. While most carrier-based bombers in WW2 had 2 crews, the other crew other than the pilot already had enough workload being a rear gunner and radio operator.

So, realistically, nope. No Fritz X for carrier-based bombers.
