Am I correct in saying that rx-offload requires RX timestamps to be
available?

Proper timestamps for RX and TX would be best, but you can use
can_rx_offload_queue_tail() if you don't have any timestamps.

They can be enabled in M_CAN, but the v3.3 manual states that
the internal timestamp generation (apparently only option for tcan4x5x)
cannot be used for CAN-FD.

Can you give me a reference to this?

Here's the manual for 3.3 (annoyingly, I can't find corresponding
documents for earlier M_CAN versions, and TCAN4550 uses 3.2...)

See Section 2.3.9, "Timestamp Counter Configuration (TSCC)". Quote:

    Note: With CAN FD an external counter is required for timestamp
    generation (TSS = “10”)
