The pre-war Contax spool I have here has both a symmetrical middle slot, to
which you'd have to tailor modern film leaders, and a longer, asymmetric,
wave-formed slot. The latter would, I guess, work perfectly with today's
film leader shape.

Absolutely. You stick the film perforation into the slot, and the spool
will cling to it. No dropped spools. Which is why I ab sorry about having
to go back to the Contax II spool.
