I wouldn't go there. IIRC the Google search bot is based on Chrome 47/48 or something like that. I need to find the source for this though.

Found it: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/rendering

Googlebot uses a web rendering service (WRS) that is based on Chrome 41 (M41)

Maybe by the time v5 stable is out this has changed, but until then, we shouldn't do this.

On the other hand we already use v45 here...

FYI "The new evergreen Googlebot [...] now runs the latest Chromium rendering engine (74 at the time of this post) [...] Moving forward, Googlebot will regularly update its rendering engine"

Source: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2019/05/the-new-evergreen-googlebot.html

And https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/fix-search-javascript does not specify anymore the Chrome version used by Googlebot
