It looks like rounded corners only get a developer facing API in Android
12 [1].
However from a vendor perspective it's possible to set padding for
rounded corners [2], although this seems to mostly be a hack.
It seems like it would make sense to deal with cutouts and rounded
corners separately, cutouts are always convex where rounded corners are
always concave, they have different implications on how content should
be adjusted.
