I'm sure it'll be GREAT for games and maybe a few other apps written for it, though.
Not quite. If we get Qt4.6 on the N8x0, all Qt (and PyQt) apps would implicitly gain GL acceleration (actual speedups, if any, obviously dependent on the way the app is written). Sure, there aren't that many of them out there yet, but IMHO it's simpler and can bring more fresh blood than backporting 3D hildon stuff - if we're thinking in Diablo terms, MeeGo/Mer^2 is a different ballgame.
