Those last things you listed were all true of Flash too:

  1. Back forward buttons, working in a flash site?
  2. Scroll bars? Same thing.
  3. CPU usage? Same thing. (See: phone performance.)
  4. Crashes? It was the number one cause of crashes as reported by Apple when looking at their Safari crash logs. This was true of many plugins of that style from back in the day.
