Is it really that hard to just check for the WEI feature directly instead of checking to see if the user agent is Chrome's? There are going to be non-chrome users spoofing their user agent as Chrome, or people using Chromium forks that don't include WEI. Leave them alone.

wei implements an visible function in n'the navigator object: getEnvironmentIntegrity. Testing on the existence of the function should be enough to see if wei works.
