Need to connect a SAML 2.0 IdP via AAD B2C and to be returned JWT token format, not SAML.

We have connected a SAML 2.0 IdP (ADFS) to a B2C policy and returned a JWT to applications from it, so yes it is possible. The policy gets claims from the IdP response; the token that it forms for the application is completely separate from this.
At least in custom policies configuring a claims provider is completely separate from configuring the token issuer technical profile.

This page shows how ADFS is added as an example: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/identity-provider-adfs2016-custom?tabs=app-reg-ga. Note the SAML technical profile does not have an output token format. That's because it outputs claims to the claims bag that the next steps can see, not a token. The token is generated by the last step in the user journey.
This also shows how SAML integrations can work in B2C: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/connect-with-saml-service-providers. The critical bit is that SAML can be used between apps and B2C if desired and/or between B2C and an identity provider. The protocols used in App -> B2C and B2C -> IdP can be completely different.
