I'm also primarily attached to OpenSCAD, especially for creating 3D printed designs, but I've found a nice compliment in using it side by side with FreeCAD for generating STEP files for CNC and really nice technical drawings.
FreeCAD has an OpenSCAD module and it makes for a really simple workflow of exporting your .csg files and importing them to FreeCAD. Both applications are scriptable, too, so with a little bit of bash and python you can automatically generate updated STLs and STEPs as you code in SCAD.
Being able to run both on an RPI4 maybe with curaengine would make a powerful little shop PC.
