I started using it because of a curling issue I had with top layers, but it's kinda grown on me. It's definitely a bit slow, but it really hides the lines better than anything else. What do you all think?

I have never had the top layer curl in any print and monotonic infill looks almost like it is ironed, so I’m skeptical about your claim that you required hilbert curve for some reason. It seems more likely to me that something is wrong with your printer, but of course I give you the benefit of the doubt.

The top layer curl is something I've experienced on 3 different printers so far, to varying degrees. I think it's caused by a very light partial clog. I switch out the nozzle to fix it normally, but the pattern has grown on my for general use. I just think it looks kinda neat.
