The first comment there is: "I can only surmise that if the app crashes then the developer MAY have deviated from the official API and not followed proper programming practices." Which is of course incorrect. It is a partial repost of: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372007 Where some people do actually suggest to leave it off but they say that they should wait until the developer updates it for ICS. But for some apps Hardware Acceleration is never going to work. Then there is: http://www.slashgear.com/android-4-0-ics-demo-facial-recognition-battery-life-gpu-rendering-and-more-18196674/ Which says: "You can turn this option off, effectively, by heading to your Settings, then to your Developers options, then scrolling down and tapping the “Force GPU Rendering” option. Though why you’d want to do that, I do not know, because with this option ON, all of your apps will run more efficiently."
