Add an option tick box that applies the Z-Offset value only to every other adjacent line. This will allow a line to be offset in Z compared to each line on either side of it. This will interlock each adjacent layer by the Z-offset amount which will increase layer strength by effectively spreading layer separation forces over a much larger layer adhesion interface:
Blending the Z-offset up from zero from the bottom/initial layer and down to zero approaching the top layer will perhaps serve to ensure minimal disruption of the surface layer quality. Such Layer Interlocking would likely only have a minimal impact on X and Y surfaces due to the sideways squishing effect of the nozzle as a line is laid down.
If it's necessary for the original Z-offset functionality to be retained for probes, perhaps this idea could created as a separate plugin with a separate Z-Offset value specifically for this purpose or even just set the offset to be half the layer height??
