As far as advanced features go, even adding and removing VLAN tags is a headache in a cut-through switch.

Not really; it just needs to inject the tag right after the source address, or not pass it through at all; and of course recompute throughout and replace the FCS at the end. Other more advanced packet editing can be done in a streaming fashion too, with the latency only limited by the length of any "forward references" needed.
