Hi, if I understand correctly, we should be able to send optional data easily, right? Viewing the API docs, I found dimensions at https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/tracking-api#optional-user-info.

dimension[1-999] — A Custom Dimension value for a specific Custom Dimension ID 
(requires Matomo 2.15.1 + [Custom Dimensions plugin](https://plugins.matomo.org/CustomDimensions) 
see the [Custom Dimensions guide](https://matomo.org/docs/custom-dimensions/)). 
If Custom Dimension ID is 2 use dimension2=dimensionValue to send a value for this dimension. 
The configured Custom Dimension has to be in scope "Visit".

dimension[0-999] — A Custom Dimension value for a specific Custom Dimension ID 
(requires Matomo 2.15.1 + [Custom Dimensions plugin](https://plugins.matomo.org/CustomDimensions) 
see the [Custom Dimensions guide](https://matomo.org/docs/custom-dimensions/)). 
If Custom Dimension ID is 2 use dimension2=dimensionValue to send a value for this dimension. 
The configured Custom Dimension has to be in scope "Action".

You are already able to send custom user/action info with every action. See the following method for example for tracking actions:

matomo-tracker-react-native/src/MatomoTracker.js

Lines 64 to 78 in 8fdec49

	/**
	* Tracks actions
	*
	* Doc: https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/tracking-api#recommended-parameters
	*
	* @param {Object} data -
	* {String} `name` - The title of the action being tracked. It is possible to use slashes / to set one or several categories for this action. For example, Help / Feedback will create the Action Feedback in the category Help.
	*
	* {Object} `userInfo` - Optional data used for tracking different user info, see https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/tracking-api#optional-user-info.
	*/
	trackAction({ name, userInfo = {} }) {
	if (!name) throw new Error('Error: name is required.');
	return this.track({ action_name: name, ...userInfo });
	}

In the optional userInfo param you can set any value from the API docs. So the following example should work.

trackAction({ name: 'Foo', userInfo: { dimension2: 'Bar' } })

Please give it a try and tell us your experiences.
