Nope - it's not intended to be unsupported so far.

We do support --yes  to overcome prompts.

Normally --force is meant to be used on paths to proceed with
i.e. lvremove, lvconvert

Do you have any case in mind where '--force' with lvcreate would have make any 
sense ?
IMHO creating something with --force looks to me like crazy idea to start with 
- but maybe there is some use-case I'm missing ?
