Not anymore, Ben's group made it work with complex ones as well.
Maybe the work happened only on trunk, not sure if it was backported to 2.7.x

Nor there is support in StreamingRenderer, which should first switch to
use MapContent instead (and GS/uDig should migrate as a consequence)

There is a work in progress patch to migrate StreamingRenderer here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-3565

I guess you can build on that one and provide a fuller one that also allows
for DirectLayers to be used?
Mind the renderer is multithreaded, so you cannot just take the layer
and render it in the main thread anymore, it has to be turned into
a drawing command to be sent to the painter thread instead (so that
proper layer drawing order is preserved, besides the fact graphics
is not thread safe)
