Yep, it would be difficult to maintain a consistent radius with that method.
My assumption (I've not looked) is that you could offset the surfaces from the two sides (say A and B), and then calculate the intersection of an offset of A with the original B. Then do the opposite for the other side. I think that will give you two edges that will produce a consistent radius.
Offsetting surfaced and calculating intersections aren't exactly easy problems to solve on their own. Fillets are hard!
(Solvespace is awesome BTW! If I had the time (or the expertise) it also makes a brilliant foundation for all this)

Yeah, offsetting surfaces is harder than curves ;-) This was my early stab at doing chamfers on extrusions: https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/453#issuecomment-521376948 https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/453#issuecom... I know how to do it better now, but ugh... not enough time.
