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
