I made the same discovery on my T470s running FreeBSD 12-CURRENT. It has been a long time since Thinkpads were designed by IBM. The fan control works just fine without any special purpose module. The acpi_ibm module main usecase for me was always handling the special button events, but these days they are just secondary function on the regular function keys. Who needs an additional row of buttons on >2k€ laptop when you can waste the space on a large useless trackpad.
