Vase mode Z travel on 1st and 2nd layer

Is there a way to not have a strong "plowing" effect through the 1st/2nd layer on vase mode? (video)

Ideally, is there a plugin or some custom script code available to have a transition like the following pictures?

You could always use the variable settings wizard to create a separate process for the first few layers. That way you can use whatever printing style you want before you begin the spiral.
