Don't know about the OS X problems much, but on Linux it's workable with FX (our product is actually used on both Windows and Linux). OTOH, Electron achieves its portability by shipping the whole Chromium browser with your application...

There is actually one issue JavaFX has on Linux: It uses Gtk to determine renderscale, so it can’t handle HiDPI at all (Gtk only scales in integer amounts, so everything is either 96dpi or 192dpi)
