This has been discussed before, but I think that there may be concerns about patent protections on dynamic layer height slicing that prevents it happening in Cura.
That said, Kisslicer and Slic3r both let you slice the infill more coarsely than the perimeters which helps a bit with this issue. And Slic3r now allows you to specify height ranges to be sliced at different thicknesses - so it's not doing it intelligently, based on geometry, but it does give you a way to make the call yourself.
I don't remember whether Kisslicer also has variable slicing - i think it might now. But I haven't used it in either package yet.
The full stable release of UltiMaker Cura 5.4 is here and it makes it easier than ever to remove brims and supports from your finished prints. UltiMaker S series users can also look forward to print profiles for our newest UltiMaker PET CF composite material!
