I thought it had for years (though not on Linux, which was perhaps your
point?) however I could only find this reference that all graphics uses
the GPU as of Flash 10.1 (but windows OSes only):

Well people do, and using open-source libraries too, though maybe it
depends on what you mean by 3D and heavy. Do you have a URL of a VRML
demo that is impressive? (Ideally a youtube video of it, as I don't
really want to have to install yet another plugin.)
