"One question, from someone who hasn't used CAM. The CAM package would
provide a way to specify the number of tool passes, to reach the final
depth of a machining operation?"

I recently went away from redundant gcode lines with the added tool paths
for each z
by passing a file with the xy cut to a subroutine that parsed through the z
depths.  I pass to the subroutine; filename, final z, and z increment.

This means I generate more files with the single toolpath, but it is
infintely more readable to me.
