Can GeneratePress be fully block-based?

Is it possible to use Generatepress as fully block-based similar to themes like TwentyTwentyOne? Or will this be possible soon?
I mean mostly this - when you are adding a text block or other blocks - that you can change the widhts of that block between narrow, wide and full widths.
Hi there,
GP is already Block Editor compatible, and supports the Wide and Full Width options that core blocks provide.
In addition to this we recommend using our own GenerateBlocks plugin for providing you even more layout and styling options:
Thanks. I have used Generatepress for a couple of years so I know some things work. But as you can see on these screenshots I don't get the options on the text formatting "bar" on the text and headline blocks that has that Gutenberg icon for ide and narrow options that some other themes has.

The Wide and Full width options aren't available on the core Text block - its the same on a core TwentySomething theme. For the same logic we don't apply it to the GB Headline Blocks.
You can of course add a GB Container Block ( or core group block ) for that function.
Here is the TwentyTwentyOne theme then I can use that function in a regular text block.

Well thats odd - as i don't see it on the latest version of TwentyTwentyOne
