I ran across same problem and solved it that way until this feature might be available someday:
In your functions.php:
add_action('wp_footer', function() {
print('<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
$(".wp-block-cb-carousel").slick("slickSetOption", "fade", true);
})(jQuery);
</script>');
}, 99);
This way you can change the settings of the used Slick-Slider library:

You can change the selector .wp-block-cb-carousel
to a more specific selector if you want.
