I'd love to be able to have a web view for the "content" of my app, but native navigation at the top, and native everything else basically.

I may have misunderstood, but can't you use the UIWebView (PhoneGap uses this by default for rendering) for HTML5/Cordova assets with the native UIToolBar at the top? (that's what I'm doing, but with UITabBar) Everything else can be done using native UIActionSheets.
