It would be nice (although possibly quite difficult!) to have an option for curved labels on polygon layers. e.g. see the labels for China and Nepal in this map. https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/attachment/ticket/3481/asia_map.jpg

This is called "splining" by ESRI. I agree that this is a good enhancement not only for polygon features but also for polyline features. This is a must for snaking rivers, curved roads, and oblong polygon features.

The "new" labelling engine can already do curved labels for polylines.

The underlining curve for the curved label for a polygon would need to be calculated first. Similar to the centre line requirement of #23329

The curve would have to be long enough for all the label. my suggestion of exposing a function for the spatial length of a label could be useful here. see #13541 and #24291

this is still missing in version 3.16.3
