For sure, but Cocos2d-x is a complete software framework and SDL is meant to be a library. Although I would grant that it would make sense if the author would choose to use a game engine for his game.

Cocos2d-x has never used SDL for anything.

for v4 the renderer is vastly different. Going from v2 to v3 there were major changes here as well.
