Well, x2goclient is using libssh. While libssh can parse the
ssh_config I am not sure to what extent the format is supported. It
looks like proxyjump is only supported starting from libssh 0.9.0 and
x2goclient has 0.8.something, IIRC.

See https://bugs.libssh.org/rLIBSSH990794c58045d5afe69d2fa861fe32b7f547b1fd

So for now you might try if works with ProxyCommand instead. If not
you can always use an ssh outside of x2goclient to build the tunnel
via ProxyJump ("ssh -L12345:localhost:22 foo"). Then you can configure
your session to connect to localhost:12345. For Windows this can also
be accomplished using the built in ssh but due to some bugs you
(again) have to use ProxyCommand:

Create %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\config (without Suffix!):

Host tunnel
    Hostname foo
    User <your user on foo>
    ProxyCommand ssh.exe -q -m [email protected]
%[email protected] ssh -W %h:%p %[email protected]
    LocalForward localhost:12345 localhost:22

Notes:
- ProxyJump does not work here, error: "posix_spawn: now such file or directory"
- Windows SSH and OpenSSH do not agree on the MAC, so you have to
specify it explicitly
- I have not tested the above ProxyCommand chaining, there might be
some teeaking required
