In the same way as you can currently render the active viewport in Open GL? Some aspects of the Workbench renderer look as if they will be very useful for NPR people.

$\begingroup$ Thanks - since NPR renders often go through a lot of 2D post-processing anyway, resolution isn't always an issue. $\endgroup$– Robin Betts ♦May 4, 2018 at 10:52

In Blender 2.80 the workbench engine can be used as an interactive viewport renderer, viewport rendering (to image or animation) or final render (image or animation.
Interactive Viewport
Workbench is used when the viewport is in Solid
mode.
Viewport Rendering
In the view menu there are two operations. One for Viewport Render Image
and one for Viewport Render Animation
it will use the same settings as your current viewport.
Workbench as render engine
In the Properties panel it is possible to set the render engine to Workbench
. Now when you do a final rendering it will use the workbench engine.
