Another solution strategy is "take it out to the next level and solve
the problem in the wider context"
Microkernel OSs "send messages" to implement device drivers in user
mode. So a crashing driver (think debug!) does not trash the kernel.
Work has been done to allow _multiple OSs_ to share a window system.

With the proper support, having the rendering "driver" as a separate
process which gets drawing messages from Morphic objects could be an
interesting project.
Making it "fast enough" is something the microkernel folks have been
working on for some time..
