The choice was VT or no acceleration in X11, because all of the new DRI drivers depend on KMS, which requires VT.  We only got VT in a useable state (and therefore useable accelerated X11 for most of the 10.x series) because the Foundation funded the work.  More contributions to VT are always welcome, but the choice was not between VT or something better tested, it was between VT and black screens.
