This is an incredibly interesting question actually.
Since AutoDesk CAM Multi-axis gives the post only the tools centerpoint and Angles as far as I know this would be very hard to solve.

Well the conditional feature's aren't that many I think. But you need some for undercuts for example. If they would ever happen, can the control handle it? Nobody seems to know so you have to exclude those, and actually it would be best to fail or give a warning and output in computer compensation. So that is kind of tricky.
And the calculation is impossible if you don't have or the contact point of the surface normal vector(Tricky explanation i know).

Forgive my ignorance here. I've watched that video before, but isn't 3D tool comp another version / name from TCP?

The simpel answer is no.
TCP gives to the ability to do 5-axis simultaneous contours, 3D Tool compensation adds the ability to change tool diameter on the machine to correct the output due to difference in tool diameter, wear, deflection whatever you want to compensate for.

Gotcha... In control vs In Computer essentially. In super simple terms.
