No.

If you want custom matcaps you’d have to use way you’ve always been able to do it in textured view mode with the texture mapped to the object normals

Probably only because you are using a higher resolution than the ones hard coded in Blender… Conversely, you CAN use a high resolution map to give you much smoother results with some slowdown) than the ones hard coded into Blender!
