I have just looked at the image in Nuke. There is an alpha channel as part of the file but the channel is completely empty. Nuke and Fusion don’t do any to apply the alpha channel to the image when they read it in, they just us it for other operations. After Effects multiplies the image to the alpha, so if it is empty your image disappears.
You either need to create an alpha channel that matches your image when you render it from your 3D app or make sure it renders without an alpha channel at all, so just RGB, not RGB+A.
You can easily use this image without an alpha channel. If you put this over something as it is it will work like an ADD blending mode.

I don’t understand why you are expecting a cheap automatic solution.
Hollywood movie conversions do use automatic conversion. They use thousands of roto, paint, 3D and compositing artists to get the job done.
If the expensive automatic solutions aren’t good enough for them why would a cheap After Effect plug-in be any good?

I wouldn’t expect After Effect to perform quickly enough for a client review session. That’s why it’s so much cheaper than a Flame.

Until the very latest version Mocha only did rotoscoping and planar tracking. Planar tracking is very different from camera tracking.

The new version of Mocha, that they announced last week, will do some kind of camera tracking but the current versions don’t.

Traditionally a 2K film scan is 2048×1556 with square pixels. If they have shot anamorphic then you need to change the pixel aspect ratio.
Other wise you shot will just be letterboxed to that ratio that they mentioned. 2.35:1 is a pretty common crop for a non-anamorphic 2K format.

The easiest way would probably be to create regular scrolling text and then use the corner pin effect to add the perspective.
