I am not asking about the UIKit-provided implementations of UIContentConfiguration. I am specifically asking if it is possible to:

define a type that conforms to UIContentConfiguration
apply an instance of that type to a plain-old UICollectionViewCell using the contentConfiguration property?

I have tried doing this and it seems that UICollectionViewCell's contentConfiguration setter is a no-op.

Custom content configurations & content views are fully supported, however in Seed 1 (released at WWDC) they aren't yet available in Swift. Stay tuned for updates in future seeds, and we'll be providing more guidance and sample code once available.

Custom content configurations & content views are fully supported in both Swift and Objective-C as of iOS 14 beta 2. The Implementing Modern Collection Views sample code has been updated to include an example that shows how to get started.
