They also don't have the computing power to do adaptive or other modern tool paths.

Is 9600 baud a real problem realistically? That’s still at least 10 gcode commands per second, right?
If your CAM software is smart enough to use arc commands instead of using line segments, I don’t really see a tool path where you would need more than that.
