You can also use Qt 5.7 with the QtWebKit from 5.5. I think there's even a 
release tarball of qtwebkit specifically made for 5.7. See
	http://download.qt.io/community_releases/5.7/5.7.0/

This is the same QtWebKit, which means the same bugs and same security flaws 
that existed in 5.5. And same lack of support.

In other words, you're in a much better position because the rest of Qt was 
updated.
