As long as you don't change exposure settings/compensation I don't think that a filter would change much the results. The camera would just select a longer exposure time.
With the extreme contrast it is difficult to avoid either blown out highlights or significantly underexposed parts in the picture. But when you shoot RAW and reduce the exposure to avoid blown out highlights you should be able to recover details is the underexposed areas.
