OK I have spent a little bit of time looking at this. *) of course the test suite needs jmol to complete properly; *) documentation probably can be built with tachyon but I am not sure; *) several defaults need to be changed to tachyon otherwise things will just break; *) the only alternative available in all cases where 3D rendering is needed is tachyon - but basic 3D plots could also use threejs.
There are 3 places where a patch needs to be applied to change the default. One of them would fall back on tachyon but it is probably better just to be consistent. I definitely can do something about this for 8.2. I think the issues are clearly identified.
