I think today you will still see performance improvements in niche scenarios - mostly when you are on an extremely limited device, like a Pi. On any typical desktop nobody is going to notice if the CPU % drops from 2% to 1%, and application performance is limited by other factors anyway. The other case is when using more specialized capabilities like hardware planes, which aren't hooked up through the desktop compositors yet, but probably will be eventually. That could probably be ported back to X as well, but nobody understands X well enough to do it these days without some major corporate sponsor backing the project.
