Read #42372

The JSON additions at #42372 indicate that a Brick Kiln is currently the only item providing the necessary Surface quality to butcher large bodies. I assume this will change sometime in the near future, but for now I will resort to using what is currently working.

No. According to that PR workbench, fiber mat, leather tarp or a plastic groundsheet should work

[Quantum-Thorn]

You're correct. The changes made to furniture-surfaces.json grant those items a 'large_surface_psuedo' flag which may very well mean they possess a Surface quality of 3. Laying down a leather tarp allowed me to dissect the corpse in the end.
