I think the answer is that it depends on the options you use. Guacamole
leverages libvncclient for VNC support, so it supports anything that libvnc
supports. libvnc, in turn, supports things documented in the standards plus
the more commonly-used features, but definitely lacks support for some of
the non-standard things that various servers have chosen to implement.
Pretty much any of the above can be configured with more compatible,
standard options, but several of them support customizations and additional
features.

RealVNC is probably the least compatible of those ones - they have done
quite a bit of customization to their server and client and support many
things on top of the VNC standard. This is fine - I'm not saying anything
bad about - one of the strengths of VNC is that it is extensible, but it
introduces interoperability challenges.
