Just some thoughts.
I appreciate them. Even the wrong ones.

but once past the roof apex, the angled prismatic nature of the 'panel', at non-cyclic intervals, could introduce such a transverse flow vector contamination to the boundary layer, as to introduce such an adverse pressure gradient, that it would be impossible to maintain attached flow on top or sides.
This is the basic question I would like answered. Vekke was no help. Dimples work, why not raked edges (cough! Cybertruck cough!)

Free and Open Source software is wonderful. Since 2.80 or so, Blender has had a Geodesic add-on. Here is the contextual menu.

Review the Object Types and Object Parameters. All the Platonic shapes for primitives; I'm not sure the difference between Squish and Eccentricity. You can add a Superellipse in two dimensions or all three.

Autodesk's parametric NURBs modelling is in contention with Blender's Geometry Node Editor.
