I'm thinking we should remove HTML/CSS and consider adding "skwasm" to the bottom layer?

My thought exactly.

This reads a little awkard to me, I think it was trying to say that the copy of Skia used by flutter was different than the system Skia on Android - but there is no system Impeller.
Maybe something like "Impeller is shipped along with the application allowing..."

This is not a useful distinction for our users.
We have a canvas based rendered and we have two compile modes: JS and Wasm.
Everything else is implementation details, I think.

Fixes #11304
@jonahwilliams @johnmccutchan, could one of you help validate these updates? Mostly, I updated the text around Skia/Impeller. And I added a link to the new doc, "Can I use Impeller?".
@johnpryan @kevmoo, can one of you help validate the updates to the Web section? I copied some text from the updated Web renderers page, but there's more that looks suspect. Also, the architectural diagram needs updating, I believe. I'm hoping that you can help with that.
