This may be a dumb question but can a coaxial driver be time aligned by slanting the baffle back slightly? If so, how much slant will do the trick?

I suspect the answer is no since the tweeter is set back slightly in the throat of the woofer cone but I guess I have to ask.

I'm going to build a pair of open baffle speakers based on the Hawthorne Silver Iris drivers. Slanting the baffle would be really simple to accomplish here, obviously.

What you suspected is correct. Baffle slope won't be any advantage in your situation.
