Fwiw, I was testing in the following manner
Zesty, fresh install unity8 deb based session, snap installed chrome
(chrome-test)
Chrome launches fine but in terms of usability I saw massive flickering
with silo https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2383
Without that silo, there is still some out-of-order framerendering (for
instance, a progress bar within a web page will take 2 steps fwd, 1 step back
visually)
also, you can "feel" this when typing as letters will temporarily disappear
just after typing.
Also, adding a tab causes chrome to crash

Bug description:
Chromium browser in Xmir (in DRI2 mode): Page contents never visible
(all white) and/or all black windows
DRI2 mode is the default mode for Xmir on desktop and it fails in
similar ways for both rootless and non-rootless Xmir. In chromium-
browser, fully loaded pages often display as all white. Or you get the
whole window being black.
In both cases for -rootless and non-rootless mode, using the software
rendering fallback works around the problem:
Xmir -sw
