What I don't understand is _why_ RPM Fusion made that change. Not saying it is without merit, just that I don't understand why a total rebuild is preferred.
I would also be interested in seeing the patches where you set a specific component to be shared while the others were static.
Thanks,

That reason is obsolete. RPM Fusion replaced chromium-libs-media-freeworld
with a full chromium-freeworld rebuild.

That sounds valid, but is it worth the performance issues?
I would recommend abandoning the component mode build. QtWebEngine has never
been built that way.
By the way, it is also possible to hack up the GN setup so that only some
specific component is built as a component (which could solve point 1 if it
were still needed). For QtWebEngine, I used to do that with V8 on 32-bit x86
when I still had an x87 build and an SSE2 build of it. But that of course
requires patching. And RPM Fusion no longer tries to replace the media
component anyway (making point 1 moot).
