It avoids those pesky fractional degrees.

Yes, but you must use metric angles.

Leigh has instructions on how to do it on a D4.
I can e-mail you the PDF if you like. It is not for the faint of heart.

I could swear I watched Roy Underhill do that within the last year or
so.
But I might have been dreaming.

It's on the website:
http://leighjigs.com/data/leighadt.pdf
It's better to do them by hand or on the band saw though so you get
the tails aligned with the grain rather than perpendicular to the
angled ends. The pdf addresses this at the beginning, telling you to
limit the angle.

Leigh for one will do angled dovetails, as well as the Keller and most
likely others, so yes, it is possible.

It is not necessary to use metric angles but probably easier.

There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage
