Actually it looks like the "metal mode" may work pretty well similar to a stripe analysis.

For example here's a juncture:



Regular circular fillet (tangent continuity):



G2 blend fillet (curvature continuity):




Probably a Zebra mode would be good too for doing a more detailed focus on shaping, but this metallic mode would probably be easier to do regular work with than trying to do normal work (other than just examination) in zebra mode.

You may need to drive up the display mesh density even higher though to do a really detailed analysis, I'm not sure yet how to manage that.
