I am tagging @danilo-leal to get perspective on the matter from a design point of view. @vmilan did you find some specification around this so far?

[vmilan]

@mnajdova There is a reference in material docs: https://m3.material.io/components/segmented-buttons/specs#7bcc5619-f77a-4d34-a202-b6b686eed1cb

Our design team have done some exploratory work with two proposals for implementation:

v1

v2

Thanks! The link you've shared is for md3, which we are definitely going to adopt in the new components. For the changes you are proposing, I would maybe add them in the v6 milestone, as changing the styles at this moment, may break the UI, especially if some style overrides are used. I am adding this to the v6 milestone, so that we have it in mind when starting the work on v6.
