Indeed the nopost and noread options aren't part of leafnode-2.

Does something similar to this work in /etc/leafnode/config?

## Use this server only for posting:
server           = post.only.example.com
# prevent active file download:
noactive         = 1
# only download from groups without name -- as there are no groups
# without name, this means "don't fetch any groups":
only_groups_pcre = ^$
# override only_groups_pcre for posting:
post_anygroup    = 1
