GPU support was removed from Cairo, because it was slower than CPU rendering and nobody wanted to maintain it.

Cairo's OpenGL support was removed, but I thought Cairo's X11 backend still has GPU acceleration for a few operations through XRender (depending on your video driver).

That's true, Cairo still provides XRender backend. Not sure it's that usable though as I think nobody really focuses on improving XRender, so it's probably in the same state as Cairo itself.
