So apparently someone at HiFi has worked on a Vulkan renderer in the past.
Here are all related branches I could find:
JulianGro#12
JulianGro#11
JulianGro#7
JulianGro#6
JulianGro#5
JulianGro#4

I might scour the archives for old PR descriptions and discussions later.

There is a lot of problems this could influence.
For example we could move to that on macOS using MoltenVK. That would future proof us on macOS.
Also mobile GPUs could profit a lot from this.
