Nothing on your feature list is incompatible with a client/server approach though. The only downside would be when large data blobs need to be sent over a network each frame.

In the end, modern 3D APIs are also just a 'wire protocol': rendering commands are recorded by the CPU into local command buffers and played back by the GPU (which is often connected to the CPU by a comparatively slow bus), the only limiting factor is the amount of data that's communicated between the CPU and GPU - and of course any additional latency that would be added by a network connection.
