So, after the big update where G2 and G3 are now enabled, I created a test model to compare the difference in file sizes. The first without arcs enable was about 17 mb, and the one with arc enabled was 6. Until I tried printing it.
The file with the arcs enabled "seized up" when it started to print the spherical infill at the z height of 2.9mm. After checking my printer, and running a file I've already printed, I looked into the gcode that was generated. It is calling out extrusion numbers all over the place. Here's a small snippet:

I'm using a the generic FFF post, on a FT-5 printer, with a Duet 2 wifi controller board.
I've attached the model, and the txt file.
