Deferred shading isn’t so bad. Hell, if you use Unity you get deferred shading served on a silver platter.
I would argue that yes, deferred shading does make it significantly easier. In fact I don’t even see how you could possible begin to make a good cell-shader using forward rendering, since you need information about the pixel depth and/or normals of neighboring pixels to know where to draw outlines.
It’s easy to create a texture with single-pixel outlines where the depth/normals changes significantly. Custom lines could probably be added using some kind of primitive line renderer to the same texture. The question then is how do you get the correct width and smoothness of the outlines inside a shader.
Tried SVP a long, long time ago. Didn’t do anything. Spent 6 hours trying to make it work, all instructions were infuriating and I always seemed to get some unforseen error that has no solution anywhere on the Internet. Gave up on it.
Just installed the new version and it seems to be some sort of post-processing thing that doesn’t require any external programs or codecs, but it’s still not doing anything. I’m currently debating whether or not I want to potentially waste the rest of my night trying to make it work.

SVP bruh.
yeah hehe, Rainbow’s face is just so irresistible!
Context is for the weak.

Cartoons often use exaggerated movement.
And we need not get pedantic over a quick and simple joke.
Typically you don’t drop your jaw and move your gaze up and down when you nod, though, or nod that big :q
It’s just fun to make her agree with anything.
Wait, what? What is this? What are you talking about? I am massively curious.
Update: I got it to work! … Kind of. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s going to crash something on my PC since I had to disable the GPU acceleration.
Hmmm. Welp, I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I sure am enjoying these buttery-smooth ponies, though. I highly recommend.

What a punk.
She tried, Pinkie keeps slapping them out of her hand.
yeah Rainbow has a great jaw
Perfect. What you’ve said is perfect.
