That is not possible with the design today. GNOME shell was designed
with certain things in mind. What you're suggesting was considered, but
not done.

You're suggestion is in practice not possible anymore.

Another option is using LLVM to accelerate and provide certain features in
software.

GNOME shell is pushing things forward regarding requirements. As a
result, there are limitations whom can use the shell. But that'll get
fixed (similarly: nvidia driver + gnome-shell was slow when gnome-shell
3.0.0 was released; latest driver fixed that however).
