All set operations work on Rakudo, but none of the Unicode set operators are enabled, because multibyte Unicode characters kill the performance of Rakudo's parser when compiling Rakudo.
So for example you can use (|) for set union, but not ∪. I think there are probably some glitches there yet, particularly with set construction -- Rakudo's version is based on an older version of Niecza's implementation. I'll probably get around to porting Niecza's updates over to Rakudo before the August release.
