I am not sure if you mean for the wedges to be solid/continuous, but if not you would need to  a layer of plywod or mud, because I don't think thet cement board is worthy of load unless it is a very very small surface. -Beatrice.

The shower in question is in the corner of a small upstairs bathroom. The walls will be tiled and I would like/think I can get away with avoiding a step/lip where the sloped floor meets the rest of the bathroom floor
