Nope. Seems like even the M2 chip and the RAM it has (on iPad Pro) isn't enough for Apple to consider adding multiuser support and quick multiuser switching. I keep waiting for this every iPadOS release, and it's disappointing not

I, like some other people, hate all these subscriptions (and prefer local-only where feasible). That’s one of the reasons I haven’t considered Fantastical. But its feature set is indeed a lot richer.
