I mean, why not? There are Spanish words with an x in them that make basically the same sound as in English: extranjero, excelente—and while I’ll give you that those are at the middle of a word rather than the end, there’s even ex (as in ex boyfriend) that can just be used alone.

If you want to say it needs a vowel to make sense in Spanish, sure, throw an e in there for clarity.
