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.
>2) using Qt4 in UI process and Qt5 in render process is not feasible as they share a lot of code
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.
R.
