Well--Edit -> Densify anchors won't answer for my initial example--the image should show why.
However, it does work for my 'borderline' bent text, as shown in this other example:
Bottom: Original text
Center: bent straightaway
Top: bent after densifying once. Behind this, not showing in the capture, is the result after Inskcap 'Add nodes...': the differences in the path are truly minimal, but as either needs further editing, 'Densify anchors' gives a more workable result: fewer anchors to deal with...
(And, of course, the semicircle--2 disjoint strokes--is the 'bender path'.)
