There will also be performance problems. The web is already slow using the heavily optimized DOM. It's going to be so much slower when things try to use a fullscreen Canvas instead. That breaks all sorts of optimization opportunities browsers currently leverage.
But sadly it'll probably happen. We'll all end up downloading forks of browsers in various states on each site we go to as each site decides to re-invent the DOM & all the rendering optimizations that go along with it.
