I have used Tauri (or more accurately, WRY) for Windows and macOS and it worked very great in my opinion. It still needed some tweaks to suit my needs, which was the main reason I didn't use Tauri proper, but I guess your issues are more related to the lack of well-known system web view in linux. It might make sense for Tauri to bundle the browser engine only for linux if this is a big concern.

Shipping an AppImage as an option could help bundle everything needed.

That is what we did when we hit a WebKit bug that caused our users to not be able to launch the app at all. But people dont like it.
