ModelConfiguration so far lacks an NSPersistentCloudKitContainerOptions.databaseScope equivalent. Even if you were to divide data into two stores, it seems that the automatic CloudKit sync would still default to .private for both. There is some discussion of coexistence between Core Data and SwiftData, with both accessing the same store. It might be possible to setup the Core Data side to perform the public database sync and the SwiftData side to operate as a reader of that store.
