FWIW no issues with my application using QtWebEngine with Qt 5.15.2,
from what I can tell.

People might need to set QT_MAC_WANTS_LAYER=1 though - for me, not doing
that caused the application to hang when opening the (QtWebEngine
default) context menu:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-87014

The respective fix didn't make it to 5.15.2:
