HTML5 is already prime time. Features of HTML5 might not be ready yet, but WebKit's capabilities are being quickly adopted for mobile apps.
The hackability of the web since its inception is by design, and it is up to the application developer to make sure their application follows common-sense security practices (i.e., verify all input).

I guess that's true of some parts of HTML5 (IndexDB, maybe even
Websockets) -- but other parts are already in widespread use.
It's eminently hackable (all the code is visible by view source from your
browser) and is not yet supported by all browsers.
Everyone has been able to view HTML source, _always_, since the Web was
first invented in 1990. That's not an aspect of HTML5! And surely you
believe that the World Wide Web is ready for prime time?!
