what is the support for custom controls like? (i.e. inheriting from a canvas and drawing themselves, while being added as a new widget type to the layout code.)

Custom controls are supported, although I'm not sure that inheriting from Canvas is the best way to do that. See e.g. https://github.com/Core2D/Core2D for an example of an application with lots of custom controls.

The support is great, you can see this example [1] of using custom rendering in Canvas being part of UI layout [2]. You can also see Avalonia in action here [3].
