I want to create a preload screen instead of a logo or progress bar before the runtime is launched; is there a way to achieve this, and does Construct 3 offer support for it?

Not sure, but I think this is not possible, because even your loading screen its images and scripts or events needs to be loaded at first.
See How to use loader layouts to make custom loading screens.
