I sometimes (often) fillet in 2D, but the advantage to this that I've noticed (especially if you save right before you attempt 3d fillets) is that you can suppress / delete your fillets, adjust your original design, and your pocketing is more likely to still work after the fact than if you trim and fillet in the sketch layer. It also takes a bit more work / time.
Seeing the support of the CIM in more detail makes me more comfortable in it - I guess it's just my personal preference to have a member follow the outer edge of the CIM to best support the face. You're probably good to go with what you have.
