It may work just as well as a regular 3d toolpath.

In case anyone out there know the answer but doesn't understand the dilemma.
(I think we have the same issue)
We need the cam to make a basic 2d pocketing toolpath, but in a plane at an angle to XZ or YZ

Right?
Sure camworks can do this, but you need to modify your post to support it.
Assign the part setup perpendicular to the plane that you are going to machining and assign a fixture coordinate system which will be your work coordinate system (G54 ~ G59).
In the post, you must turn on world coordinate output by setting => WORLD_POSITIONING=TRUE
