Simon, you don't need any carnet if you enter by land in Congo.
As for going to Angola, there is also a plane you can take. Will they ask for a carnet when you land, I don't know.
The DRC section between Cabinda and Angola is short. Are you sure it is worth it to avoid it and go through all the trouble of finding a boat/or plane. From other travellers, in the DRC you'll meet some officials asking for money on that road but it is always easy to deal with that.
