Additionally, I'd recommend looking a stand-alone software (a few are capable). There are varying algorithms/implementation and baking is, optimization wise, a benefit.
Yes, but I think to use it mainly for Octane procedurals and OSL.

Did you make sure to use the OSL Delayed UV projection on the input texture?
If the input height map is itself an OSL texture and doesn't have a projection pin you need to add it and use the resulting value in the code. Otherwise the calls to _evaluateDelayed from the HeightToNormal texture won't work.
