The RPO and docking are autonomous specifically because it's hard to deal with the latency.
Note that the algorithm stack for almost any spacecraft cannot rely on modern compute. Single-core sub-1 GHz processors are the standard. Very few GPUs have ever been in space, in any capacity, and none that I know of in a mission-critical role.
