Firstly, i would like to know why do you want to use HFS+ in Catalina?
 
:ROFLMAO: Sorry, i am wrong. I mean 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'
Yes, it's available. But that means HFS+ ;)
Do you want the other drives in HFS+ or the system drive?

I would like (if possible) to install the system (10.15) on 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' filesystem format, 'natively', without having to make a carbon copy or anything like that

When at Disk Utility, you can select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) instead of APFS. That should work.

this does not work, it forces the creation of the partition in APFS.

I'll have to check. If there's any solution, i'll write the guide.
