No, as of now there is nothing in SPFx to customize master page or page layouts. Also, Master Page and Page Layouts are old technique, which is not applicable for Modern Pages.

But SPFx framework comes with extensions (in preview as of now), which can be used to enhance UX of application. The SPFx extensions allow you to customize in following three direction:

  1. Application Customizers: Overall page customization can be done using this like header/footers.
  2. Field Customizers: For custom rendering of fields.
  3. Command Set: For adding custom commands to the top ribbons or popup menus.
