I am developing an iPad app which uses webKit to process video content. Some computing needs to be done in the device before rendering the video. It cannot be done as simple web app with video tags and that is why we decided to go with UIWebKit.
I heard the third party browsers were developed using UIWebKit.

But following discussion is the concern for me.

Is there any chance that Apple reject the app ?
You cannot use private frameworks in your app. The frameworks mentioned in your second link are still private as of 5.1. Apple’s new static analyzer will surely catch any use of them. The apps in your first link probably use UIWebView, as opposed to WebKit directly. Why can’t you do the same?
