It is very much supported. I use it myself very frequently and we have CI
builds using it.

1. build OpenSSL

   ./config enable-tls1_3 --prefix=/home/daniel/build-openssl
   make
   make install

2. build curl

   LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,$HOME/build-openssl/lib" \
   ./configure --with-ssl=$HOME/build-openssl

3. Smile

The LDFLAGS trick is of course not strictly necessary, but is convenient.
