I am using this PPA's Chromium-dev build (armhf,
63.0.3239.84-0ubuntu0.16.04.1)

And I am using the armhf libwidevine libraries that are working with
Netflix on a Pi 3 (which I took from https://github.com/kusti8/chromium-
build/releases/download/netflix-1.0.0/chromium-
browser_56.0.2924.84-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1011.deb ) - I believe these were
probably taken from an ARM Chromebook image.

So, I know it's possible to get Netflix working on armhf - but I'm using
a different board (this time, an ODroid XU4).

It's not critical - I'm just tinkering, and I've gone as far as I can
go.
