@Botspot mesa-utils itself doesn't bring any additional driver support. Is cura calling the glxinfo or eglinfo command line tools inside the binary to check for hardware support?
Basically go into more depth as to what this changes.

Yes, it uses the output of glxinfo to determine the version of Mesa that is installed. It needs Mesa version 20 or higher to enable the more sophisticated layer view.

gross... cura should be using native code calls to do that, not glxinfo
good catch though
