The different strategies to building a cross-platform app
Full control of rendering. Optimizes for consistent UI cross-platform, at expense of platform-specific capabilities and look-and-feel (that users on each platform might be more familiar with). But has Cupertino widgets for iOS look-and-feel, to alleviate that. (Android uses Material UI widgets). Could also use flutter_platform_widgets that automatically selects the UI widget's look-and-feel according to the mobile platform (iOS or Android).

Using Flutter to build a native-looking desktop app for macOS and Windows
OP here!
It wasn't that hard to handle the conditional logic for the UI components. It can also be encapsulated in a separate package, something that is already available for Flutter on mobile (iOS and Android UI): https://github.com/stryder-dev/flutter_platform_widgets
I could also not strive to make it look native, but go with the default UI (Google's Material UI). As I explained in the post, I decided to take some extra steps and use the two UI packages (macos_ui and fluent_ui), to make it adapt to the platform.
Please bear in mind that I am a single developer, with ~1 year of working with Flutter and Dart, and my main background is web development. I think that teams with more members and experience can certainly do this for even larger in scope apps.
- Do all Flutter Apps look similar?

3D and 2D: Testing out my cross-platform graphics engine
Thanks - that link does not appear to be open access, anyways I don't think I've seen it. I'm familiar with Flutter at a high-level (Kevin Moore gave a great talk on it at Wasm I/O), and I think other than requiring users to work in Dart, it is probably one of the most powerful ways to do cross-platform UI today.
Worth noting that their original GPU backend was Skia, and now they are retooling around Flutter GPU (Impeller)[0], which is kind of designed similarly as an abstract rendering interface over platform-specific GPU APIs.

Python dev considering Electron vs. Kivy for desktop app UI
If you are considering Electron/React then I would suggest adding Flutter to your list of technologies to consider. It uses Dart (a language similar to C#) and has a lot going for it… relatively quick to get up to speed with, fantastic developer experience (e.g., hot reload, great IDE support, good development tools) and very strong cross-platform support: it generates native iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux executables. Check it out: https://flutter.dev/
