As Ulrike said in a comment, to avoid manual adjustment, nesting tabulars could be a solution.
I would put a tabular with an m column of appropriate width in the main tabular.
I added the lines just to show the "A" is vertically centered.

In this case you can use a 1-row multicolumn as the baseline of the m-column is there. In other cases you will have to use the vmode-option described in the documentation. Imho while multirow works okay with 1-line cells it is imho rather a pain with m- and p-columns and I use it seldom.

begintabularx0.5linewidthllX
multirow1*A & B & lipsum[1][1-2] \

To center the A over both cells use a value of 8.5 or 9 works (that's the number of lines below the baseline of the first cell.

Yes, but the A is aligned to a line. It is up to you to decide what is visual more pleasing. And yes, it is a pain - I already wrote in the answer. I wouldn't use multirow but nested tabulars or even simple boxes for such a layout.

To center the A over both cells use a value of 8.5 or 9 works (that's the number of lines below the baseline of the first cell.

In this case you can use a 1-row multicolumn as the baseline of the m-column is there. In other cases you will have to use the vmode-option described in the documentation. Imho while multirow works okay with 1-line cells it is imho rather a pain with m- and p-columns and I use it seldom.

Where is the improvement? Apparently I was not clear in my question, but by nicely I mean "A" centred vertically in the middle of the table. I updated my question.

Now there are 6 lines above and 5 below "A".7works for me. This solution requires a tedious counting of lines manually.

Yes, but the A is aligned to a line. It is up to you to decide what is visual more pleasing. And yes, it is a pain - I already wrote in the answer. I wouldn't use multirow but nested tabulars or even simple boxes for such a layout.

Maybe you can try with
multirow8*A.– leandriis

Since you made
mthe underlying column type, since the cells in column 3 occupy 12 rows in all, and since one half of 12 is 6, you should replacemultirow2*Awithmultirow6*A.– Mico

@Mico: Wouldn't one typically use
multirow12in order to vertically center a cell adjacent to a cell that contains 12 lines of text? However, in the OP's case the redefinition of theXtype column usingrenewcommandtabularxcolumn[1]m#1seems to interfere with that.– leandriis

@leandriis, then I need to manually count rows. So laborious when dealing with many tables, changing text.

@leandriis - Indeed, if the
renewcommandtabularxcolumn[1]m#1directive weren't there, one would have to use12, not6, as the first argument ofmultirow.– Mico
