It should be possible to run those under Xvfb soon too (as a result of the work being done for http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Gnome_shell_software_rendering)

> - If possible, the standardized theme (look at first con) could apply mac-style-like appearance to some elements (e.g. list menu items), making tests that are tailored for mac port style passable

How is that a pro for *not* using Xvfb? If we change the default theme under the real X server then we're interfering with the user's other windows, whereas if we run Xvfb we can just run a separate xsettings manager on that server to change the default theme only there.
