Deprecation warnings are informational.  You have many options:

Port to Metal, ignore the warnings, use -Wno-deprecated, use #pragmas, or change the deployment target.

Mesa is not a viable option for accelerated rendering and likely won't ever be on macOS.

More importantly, what will be the performance impacts on 10.14? I have the impression that the video card drivers have to provide hardware level OpenGL support for the current performance levels in 10.13 and earlier, no? If so. how much can than be mitigated on the user land side?
