Although it's in TV, with the Inhumans brought into 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' as to be the MCU's mutants, people described that storyline as being a better X-Men story, than anything Fox has done with the X-Men in their movies (in terms of discrimination and hatred of super-powered people and such).

Though while I say I can see them keeping X-Men separate from MCU, I do can see them bringing in things like Deadpool and especially the Fantastic Four. Hell, Hugh Jackman even said the only way he will ever play Wolverine again, is if he gets to interact with the Avengers, especially the Hulk. See, if they hadn't introduced the Royal Inhumans and their secluded society on the moon, I'd actually be championing the mutants replacing the Royal Inhumans in the MCU (being an isolated society, living on Magneto's artificial asteroid), since the NuHumans have become the MCU's mutants.

They probably still could do that, just have them holed up in Northern New York in Xavier's mansion, and he just mind wipes anyone who discovers mutants or something.

While they could do that, or explain that mutants and the emergence of the X-Gene being a recent phenomenon, I do wonder how they would explain ones who have been around for a while (Apocalypse, Wolverine, Mister Sinister, etc.). Unless they make it like with the inhumans in AoS, that they were the rare cases of their mutant powers getting activated by themselves (through puberty or trauma), while external changes results in a recent boom in the amount of mutants emerging, leading to Xavier and Magneto recruting them for their own causes.
