Likely, but since both Chrome and LC use Skia we'd have to look a little
deeper.
Specifics are helpful.

That's a good use case. UIs are increasingly animated, so animation
performance is increasingly useful.
Anyone on the team listening in and can offer some insight into this?

What limitations currently exist in the SVG widget?
Let's identify the remaining specifics and see if we can get a plan
together to handle those.

I believe the Dictionary is indeed using the Browser widget.
My question is why, since that content doesn't require full HTML
rendering, doesn't it use a field object?
But at this point my question is not for the team. They already have
the Dictionary in pretty good order, and the remaining nits can be
addressed without a complete rewrite easily enough.
My question would be for any community members eager to explore
alternate designs.

There is a browser widget. I believe I'd read an earlier post in which
you said you're using it, so I don't understand this question.
