Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Although the "Fn" key doesn't strictly have a regular key code - it appears you can send it if the BLE device has a specific vendor and product id. Also BLEHidAdafruit would need to use a reserved byte in the report or put additional descriptors.
Describe the solution you'd like
We can send the Fn key so we can emulate a Apple vendor keyboard. Note this is useful because if you were to use a Adafruit BLE board for assistive tech - the Fn key is the default key for a number of "full keyboard access". Its a bit of a pain to remap.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Using QMK. They have done it. qmk/qmk_firmware#2179

Additional context
It appears you have to change the vendor ID to an apple keyboard to make this work. https://gist.github.com/fauxpark/010dcf5d6377c3a71ac98ce37414c6c4?permalink_comment_id=3720511#gistcomment-3720511
