I know, but you know what they say about things that ain't broke ;)
One of the applications (rather, suite of...) is KDE PIM. I don't even want to 
try the current version of it, partly because it only supports QtWebEngine (if 
I wanted to read my mail using Chromium I could just as well use the real 
full-fledged browser I already have running ;) ).

I can also do that just with the email that doesn't render correctly ... or 
view that on my phone.

I don't see the problem here, as long as we're talking about actual individual 
processes?

FWIW, any Qt4/KDE4 application that uses KWallet functionality will talk with 
the Qt5-based KWallet daemon nowadays, through the KDE4 wallet client API.
