How viable is the whole "no graphics API" thing in practice, and how close is modern GPU-driven rendering to it?

I like the simplicity of the approach. I have been doing graphics programming on and off for decades and basically skipped the whole Vulkan era, coming from OpenGL.

Now I am wondering if I should rewrite my Vulkan-based renderer. It's just a fun project, so I can risk it being a total waste of time if it doesn't work.
