It's really really really browser and hardware dependant.
https://m8y.org/tmp/testcase425.xhtml https://m8y.org/tmp/testcase425.xhtml from 2018 is a simple effect with 2 translucent gradients. Was getting 200% (2 cores) CPU usage in Chrome on Windows, but like 15% in Firefox. Pretty much a case of hardware acceleration. OSX performed well in Safari but not Firefox and Chrome... Linux depended a lot on whether one force-enabled hardware acceleration which was off by default.
Overall I'd say if your web page doesn't need continuous animation, and you're worried about battery life or stutteriness or whatever, maybe don't use it?
It has gotten a lot better though. Not for SVG though, at least not last time I checked, and forget about SVG animated fonts unless you don't mind running CPU at 100% nonstop. :)
