ADHD is at its core an executive function disorder, and even the symptoms of anxiety caused by ADHD are rooted in difficulties in executive function, which is unrelated to anxiety with other etiologies (such as anxiety disorders, depression, or PTSD).
It's implausible that MDMA would be useful for this purpose, because there's no theory that would connect MDMA to improved executive function after the acute effects have worn off.

You have a misunderstanding of how ADHD works. "Knowing what lack of anxiety feels like" won't fix the executive function disorder that prevents an individual from translating that knowledge into action.
