H.264 is already a part of every content producers workflow. It has very mature encoder support and it supported by every encoder that matters. WebM's encoders that are available are very slow, and not supported or has very flaky support of most apps people are using out there. What's going to happen, is chrome users are going to be served H.264 in a flash wrapper. This move is not going to help kill flash, it's going to help extend it's life. If you think about it, it is not in googles best interest as an advertising company to kill flash. They'll have more trouble with content protection and are unable to overlay ads in fullscreen mode.
