All of these are supported in LuaTeX/LuaLaTeX.

For some key differences see this:

There's one feature that sets LuaLaTeX apart from XeLaTeX for my use cases, and that's the compatibility of the 'microtype' package. While it works with XeTeX it offers a limited feature set - and that package with LuaTeX provides (at least for me) those last 5% of beautiful typesetting.

However, this comes at a cost: both XeTeX and LuaTeX work *substantially* slower than pdfTeX. I'm always stunned how fast "ordinary" compilation can be with LaTeX, for example when simply pushing a Markdown document through Pandoc.
