It appears to me that there is a workplane type that is missing from the list of plane creation tools - "normal to curve at point".
I'm not sure whether this should be a plane type in its own right or setting within the "plane along path" tool, but either way I haven't yet found a viable solution. Any pointers appreciated!
This issue is mentioned in the following thread, but the workaround given in answers is only suitable for 2D splines:

The desired functionality is demonstrated in Inventor in this answer:
