Yes, there would have to be a pgfsys-luametatex.def and some detection code to switch the driver appropriately but that latter part is easy. I'm not too sure what is needed for the former though for LMTX. When I last looked at it about a year ago it was completely unusable with the LuaTeX driver because position tracking primitives were removed (\pdflastxpos, \pdflastypos) and box keywords had changed (\hbox dir TRT). Some catcode trickery in pgfplots also had stopped working (https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgfplots/pull/353). As Hans mentioned in another message, the PDF resource management has changed (if I understand it correctly), so things like shadings and patterns would have to be adjusted.
