I would like to embed metadata field values in text layers using metacommands such as those used in Lightroom's Filename Template Editor, for example, {Title} or {Creator}, etc.

Photoshop doesn't have this feature.

 

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the "idea" feature request tag! I have added my vote.

 

In the meantime, this will either require scripting or Photoshop Variables from a CSV containing the metadata:

Early versions of Photoshop did not have direct manipulation of text. You typed text into a dialog box and it was added to the document. A script could do that and make substitutions, or could be run on a layer once entered. I do something similar in my PDFExport script for Bridge.
