I can confirm Spotify GNU/Linux client appears to use libcef. I was surprised! I had read some old Internet posts that claimed Spotify GNU/Linux client was using Qt. (I have no idea about old versions of the GNU/Linux client.)

When I run command "ldd" on my Spotify GNU/Linux client binary, I see "libcef.so". And, I can see:

$ ls -l /usr/share/spotify/libcef.so

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 147980856 Sep 15 06:13 /usr/share/spotify/libcef.so

That's a big library!
