> The Mozilla team didn’t intend Servo to be a fully functional new browser.
This is not accurate. Some parts of Mozilla thought that way, other parts didn't. And thoughts changed over time. For years Servo was officially an experiment, with many possible futures.
Had it succeeded in rendering the modern Web well enough, I think it could have become a fully functional new browser. Sadly, that didn't happen.

Have all innovative parts of Servo been incorporated into Firefox now? Or are there some modern GPU based implementations or something like that which give it the potential to be faster than Firefox?
