I saw the following issue with emacs' mac port, which occurs with other ligature programming fonts:
https://github.com/railwaycat/emacs-mac-port/issues/96

I believe that people building editors have to be careful to not disrupt layout of lines when ligatures are present. Wouldn't this automatically work itself out if => was rendered as a single glyph that had double width, with the arrow glyphs centered perfectly? Is this how pragmatapro works right now? Should it?

Correct.
PragmataPro has the most part of glyphs with the width 1060em, ligatures are 2120em (x2) and 3180em (x3). Unfortunately I found troubles with the contemporary antialiasing systems. Often the rasterization of the widths is almost random
Anyway I'll check if is possible to avoid these issues
Thanks!
