In general, FreedCAD has 3-axis tool path support, and I've met the kind local guy who started the original Path toolbox.
For 2.5D there are several engraver options with the inkscape mightyscape plugins (scorchworks etc.)
YMMV with the island-routing and surface probing routines:

Also, we are currently evaluating: viaconstructor, inkcut, GCAM ( https://github.com/blinkenlight/GCAM.git https://github.com/blinkenlight/GCAM.git )
If you want 3D contouring operations, than you could also try:
git://pycam.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pycam/pycam
And note, if you patch CAMotics to compile on ubuntu 24.04.x it still has a number of Qt5 GUI problems (not entirely unexpected with Qt impact on LTS programs.)
There are also direct gcode generator macros that support the LinuxCNC/emc language extensions. This is the most accurate methodology for turning and milling ops.
Best of luck, =3
