FWIW my work on the adaptive toolpaths got merged in FreeCAD- it's in the weekly builds. See: forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=96548
tl;dr is it adds a more-or-less one-click "rough the entire model" mode and- perhaps more relevantly- properly evaluates the stock and model instead of blindly projecting the contour you specify. Put differently, it's far smarter about not machining into the model, including avoiding areas it can't reach in 2.5D due to overhanging geometry. The attached image shows that on a demo model I threw together.
Not world-changing, but still a really nice QoL upgrade if you like adaptive toolpaths. Plenty of other... quirks... in FreeCAD remain, of course, but it's getting better all the time if you're not afraid of the weekly builds.

That's a really nice improvement, can't wait until the next release to try it out.
