I tested it on my default install by enabling lowgfx through CCSM. It did switch off all transparency effects. Also there are no preview animations in Dash but I still have fade in and fade out animation for showing windows (Super+W). In my testing using virtual machine that animation was disabled so I guess it works as intended.
