ArcWelderPlugin
A plugin for OctoPrint used to convert G0/G1 commands to G2/G3 commands. Reduce the size of your gcode files, and reduce number of gcodes per second sent to your printer. (by FormerLurker)

Looking through the Issues in the GitHub Project seems like there is currently a "flow" issue that is still open as you can see here

I cannot get ride of these lines (vibrations? Reflexions?) on this perfect curve (1/4 circle 40cm diameter)
definitely arc welder, but you have to have g1 g2 enabled on your firmware. read this command here here and you can download the console app to run it on your exported gcode on arcwelders github
- Is Arc Welder still a thing?
- This isn’t normal
-
Large gcode timeout
For other slicers, you will need to use a script like ArcWelder (Cura Plugin) (Script for other slicers)
- Will Arc Welder still be useful for MK4 and XL?
-
(BIQU printer with octoprint) Does anyone know why my printer stutters so much on faster curved layers?
Look into Arc Welder for further explanation and as a potential solution (though it is not perfect and can have its own downsides). The OctoPrint plugin is no longer maintained afaik, but there is a Cura plugin and other slicer post-processing methods.

I made radius chips to help with my corner designs.
You could also post process your sliced model through ArcWelder and get perfect arc curves for your print. It will go through the G-codes, detect curves, and change them to G2/G3 arc codes removing the edges completely.
- Release 3.12.0 Firmware for MK3, MK3S, MK3S+, MK2.5 and MK2.5S

Artifacts at higher speeds
if you're feeling really adventurous you could manually apply arcwelder using CLI https://github.com/FormerLurker/ArcWelderLib
- Why doesn’t PrusaSlicer bundle and use ArcWelder by default?
