You may be interested to know that Unreal Engine’s Nanite technology uses (mostly) software rasterisation.

Nanite isn't raytracing though, or even rendering. I think it's more like a pre-render thing to reduce polygon count.

Nanite has a large pre-render step, but it also changes the rendering quite significantly. (Which in some cases includes a software rasterizer running on the GPU)

This is a really good deep dive if you’re interested: https://youtu.be/eviSykqSUUw?si=Vaj8pngU2Bug5LJX
