I suppose this lends itself to a hybrid scenario. I suspect most mature robotics projects would have both types of computation. Likely bare metal or RTOS as the default, with delegation to GPOS computer for high bandwidth, and high computation tasks such as CV. I also imagine distributed computing (for example: over CAN or another bus) would be a useful pattern.
