I use a contoured plaque for the heart, and for the blend between the heart and the tip. I use a flat plaque for the tip.
If you use a contoured plaque for the extreme tip it doesn't matter what your technique is like - the knife will only be touching one point on the tip as it scrapes. Since you are aiming for even gradation towards the tip corners success with a contoured plaque will be elusive, to put it mildly.
There are some contoured plaques that are mostly flat in the center and only taper towards the sides. You can succeed with these if you first position the tip corner you are working in the middle of the plaque.
Conversely, trying to craft the blend area on a flat plaque is also challenging since the flexible reed will give under the knife, forcing you to press harder to get at the cane. Far better to use a contoured plaque which will support the natural curve of the cane firmly, and let you work lightly and accurately.
