I'm happy to have a good answer for this one! It's true that in the demos the scheduling is done with Haskell, but you can use SuperCollider's timing very easily.
If you have a piece of music - let's say:
mySong = do
fork $ do
wait 1
s1 <- synth foo ()
wait 1
free s
s2 <- synth bar ()
wait 1.5
free s2
If you call "mySong", the timing will be handled by Haskell, but if you call "doScheduledIn 0.2 mySong" the timing will be sample-accurate, scheduled on SC's server (0.2 seconds from now). (There's also "doScheduledAt" which us the absolute-time version)
There's one other nifty thing: if you call:
writeNRT "foo.wav" mySong
The song will be rendered (much) faster than real time to the file, and also sample-accurate.
Any timing you do in Vivid can be used in any of these 3 modes without additional work.

I just emailed haskell-cafe[1] to ask whether that perceived solidity is something I should trust to continue -- because it felt like more of a Haskell question than a music question.

It might be possible to hand the scheduling off from Vivid to SC also -- the fact that Vivid is compatible with Tidal suggests it could -- but I'm hoping not to have to, because that handoff (e.g. Tidal's onTick function, and the architecture that calls it) is hella complicated.
