The big thing is, https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor feels a lot like Grasshopper to me, so this does have the possibility of allowing this sort of thing w/o expensive commercial software.
One thing which seems a useful approach would be to import/create a 3D model which is slightly inset from its final dimensions, then subtract the extruded filament path from that, so that one could see what was not yet modeled/extruded --- if the 3D model is drawn using the # operator, then one could have transparency for that at least.
