It might be a minor compatibility pain, but I don't think it'd be any worse than developing for the web in general.

The alternative to Tauri isn't the web - it's Electron which has a specific Chrome version.

One big reason people go for delivering their web apps through Electron is so they can guarantee that they are on a specific modern version of Chrome. This is something you lose with Tauri. You gain some tighter memory consumption, but you do trade one thing in for another.

For some value of "modern", usually "horrifyingly outdated".
