Hey,
qutebrowser upstream here.

Note that qtbase releases after 5.15.2 are commercial-only
unfortunately:
https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-offering-changes-2020
https://www.qt.io/blog/commercial-lts-qt-5.15.3-released
However, QtWebEngine source releases are exempt from that, due to
containing third-party LGPL code, so its source for newer releases is
publicly available:
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebengine.git/refs/tags
Most distributions I'm aware of are still keeping updated with those
releases, as they should work just fine against an older qtbase.
Alternatively, to fix the issues with missing text, backporting this
patch should suffice:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwebengine-chromium/+/374232
However, newer QtWebEngine releases come with a variety of security
fixes and even a Chromium upgrade (from 83 to 87), so I'd highly
recommend keeping it up to date.
Florian
