I'm a daily user of Hyper. There has been some gripes of pretty basic things like scrolling and resizing. These aren't showstoppers for me, however I only do pretty basic operations in a terminal (some server maintenance, git commands, and basic file operations).

The big downside I see to using the GPU for this is that it is such a hit to battery life. I was an avid iTerm user, but noticed that when I had it running I only get ~2 hours of usable battery time, even when it was just backgrounded. I hope that Hyper doesn't have this same issue -- will keep a close eye on it.
