No, SharePoint Modern site does not have concept of master page. Hence you won't able to directly customize as we used to do in classic experience. You can customize modern site using below options

  1. Create Application customizer to add header and footer on page.
  2. You can create modern custom pages and select layout like one column, 2 column etc...

You might have to go through below resources for other available options.

  • Delay is expected as you code runs once document is ready..to handle this you should show loading image and once code does it’s part hide loading image

Custom master pages is not supported in modern pages currently.

Quote from the article:

Supported customizations for "modern" pages:

  • Custom branding
  • Adding "modern" pages programmatically
  • Adding, deleting, and updating client-side web parts on "modern" pages
  • Alternative layouts

These customizations are currently not supported for "modern" pages:

  • Adding "classic" web parts on "modern" pages
  • Custom CSS via AlternateCSSUrl web property
  • Custom JavaScript embedded via user custom actions
  • Custom master pages (more extensive branding will be supported later using alternative options)
  • Minimal Download Strategy (MDS) -Modern pages inside of the a Site Template package (Save site as a template)

SharePoint Modern Sites requires "SharePoint Framework(spfx) Extensions" in order to extend SharePoint User Experience. It's the modern SharePoint alternative to "Master pages".

You can find official Microsoft Documentation on extensions here.
