Unsolved Usage of Chromium GPL Components with a proprietary software

So basically we have a proprietary software that uses QtWebEngine.
Currently as far as I understand all the Chromium GPL libs are being linked into the QtWebEngineProcess and then communicates and renders the HTML pages into the proprietary QT application.
Does that mean that the proprietary application needs to be GPL license compatible ?
I have taken a look at https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLInProprietarySystem
and I quote:

However, in many cases you can distribute the GPL-covered software alongside your proprietary system. To do this validly, you must make sure that the free and nonfree programs communicate at arms length, that they are not combined in a way that would make them effectively a single program.

So does that consider as arms length ?
