QWebView was deprecated in Qt5.6 because Qt could not support two different webkit implementations. QtWebkit and Chromes QtWebEngine. So they chose Chromes WebEngine over Apples webkit. The problem is Chromes WebEngine does not have all of the capabilities of Qt webkit and has as many or more bugs. Sigil has no plans to move to Qt 5.6 as Sigil needs Qt webkit. Any move would require a large rewrite of Sigil and loss of functionality in Bookview. My tests show QWebEngine is missing basic audio/video support and is not nearly as stable as Qtwebkit is right now.
