Field Maps multi-source basemaps support?

I thought the June release of Field Maps was going to support multi-source basemaps? I'm a member of the early adopter program and thought I saw it on the roadmap? Perhaps I misread.

This is a very important feature. The current vector base maps are generally poor for field navigation in 2 ways:

The topographic basemap does not have contours, only a weak hillshade. The topo w/ contours is a multi-source basemap. The second issue is roads are generally white and very hard to see. With the Vector Tile Style Editor, we were able to craft our own custom basemap. However neither this nor even the Esri topo w/ contours are available for offline use. 

This continues to be another reason why field workers will opt for Avenza over Field Maps despite the overwhelming benefits of data collection in Field Maps.

Does anyone have any information on this subject? 

Thanks.
