I hesitated to mention the table saw approach, as I think you are a way more experienced wood worker than I am, but if you haven't tried it, you might find that works well for you.

I could see how that would work but I can see difficulties. You'd need to rig a diagonal fence and would need to press the board to the table very firmly at all times else have serious roughness.
Then again, I had a fair amount of roughness in my piece, I put a piece of sticky back 80 grit paper on a piece of firm styrofoam camping pad to use as concave surface sander.
