A few clarifications: 1. Although Chromium base Webview shares a lot of common components w/ Chrome, they do have some major difference. Notable things include compositing and process. Webview is more designed for embedded ui toolkit usage, and it has to be compatible w/ legacy webview api usage, which introduces some architecture difference w/ Chrome. So for some apps, the behavior/performance between Chromium-base Webview and Chrome browser might be different.
2. Auto-update mechanism doesn’t guarantee that every user has the same version of Webview in Android 5+ (e.g. it might be disabled, etc), and sometimes update will introduce regressions. If you have a strong need to make your application more predictable, embedded a runtime in your Apps might be a good alternative.

Android 4.4 have also chrome based webview, but its not updating so its stuck on chrome 30/33. it might be good enough for you, but you will need to QA your app also there.

So here you mean to say that if I use Android 5+, then no need of crosswalk. Hybrid App layout will look same as HTML app looks on chrome web browser ?

If so, and you don't need any special feature of crosswalk (like simd) You don't get much benefit from crosswalk.
