It has always been my understanding that the proprietary drivers make extensive use of the video cards hardware acceleration features where available, whereas the nouveau driver never has.

That is incorrect. Nouveau does do 3D acceleration. Depending on the card it doesn't take advantage of everything, particularly reclocking and power management. (Though that is improving.) For very new cards some reverse engineering may need to be done before the card is very usable. You can check the status of support at:
