in 3d space, your corner extrusion would suddenly be much thinner, so the choices for your filament would be to either droop to be supported by the previous layer or for the filament to sit underextruded in space if your part cooler is really up to the challenge.

Why would it suddenly be much thinner?

  Because that's what happens when you reduce the amount of material being extruded in order to create much thinner lines in order to create sharper corners.

    It’s all a question of what exactly “much thinner” means, I expect to have some positive effect of the proposed method even when the minimum extrusion width is above the threshold where things become too thin.
    
    Overall I expect the described method to make more sense with large nozzles and wide extrusions.
    
    Thanks for explaining what you mean!
