Not that I am aware of, and although some figures are quite interesting and creative, I would not like them to be default, as some of them disregard the placement of stars in the figures described since antiquity (e.g., the "reversed" Greater Bear and Cetus), so they also conflict with the default and any historical artwork.
There are what I would call "Stellarium default" constellation figures in the "western" sky culture, plus a separate download for the H.A.Rey figures. Of course you can copy the whole "western" directory into "western_Rey", copy the Rey figures there, and rename the skyculture to e.g. "western (Rey)" in info.ini. A standard delivery of this duplicate directory with just one small text file exchanged and else using the same artwork would increase download size considerably, likely not what most users would welcome. Alternatively, since Rey did not make artwork (as far as I can remember), we could leave away all artwork from such a western variant. Note that the figures are not standardized, and every atlas shows them slightly different. So, we should then in the same sense provide "western (Journal<1..n>)", "western (Atlas<1..m>)", "western (...)". Everybody can create such files, and I would welcome them and would like to have them available as separate downloads on the Stellarium website, so that users are free to create/duplicate/adapt the default western according to their needs and preferences. The only standardized thing about constellations are the IAU boundaries. Since last year or so, boundaries can be defined for other sky cultures, but I have not seen this feature ever used, likely because there would not be any standard boundaries between the constellations in non-western sky cultures. If you look into European 18th/19th century atlases, some show curved boundaries which would be interesting if combined with old artwork for the same atlas, but which likely are quite hard to code.
