How to use Johnson Transformation with Ordinary Kriging?

Is it possible to use Johnson Transformation with Ordinary Kriging in the Geostatistical Wizard? I am trying to interpolate a dataset containing 50 points. BoxCox, Log, or ArcSin transformations are unable to successfully normalize the data.

I have seen other papers that used Johnson Transformation with Kriging, for example this and this, although both are using ArcGIS 10. I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.1.1. 

Alternatively, I can perform Johnson Transformation in a separate statistical software and apply OK directly to the already transformed data. But then how will I back-transform the data in the resulting surfaces? I can back-transform the labels manually in Symbology, but I read somewhere that back-transforming should consider variances, so perhaps this is not valid?
