Walt confessed to killing Gus to her, and yes, that is evidence. Him being a chemist would make for strong evidence for a homemade bomb. If they track Walt, they get to Jesse and Mike easily. Mike is already a target as he was Gus's henchmen, Jesse is a known criminal involved in meth. Maybe you aren't up to date on how sophisticated surveillance is these days, but they could track all three of them 24/7 and know everything they did, everywhere they went, every call they made and to whom and where. That ties Mike and Jesse to Madrigal, which they are already looking at actively, via the woman they are also already interested in. It would nail Saul again too, and him being a part of the conspiracy would negate client confidentiality. Within a week or so of surveillance they will do a cook at a bug house. That blows the pest control setup and is hard evidence of drug manufacturing and conspiracy, not to mention the RICO and the money laundering.

Skimlarp would be the perfect witness, she did not have her hands dirty besides the money. Her being uninvolved in the drugs, and his wife, would help with the credibility question in court, and she has inside info on everything, including a confession to murder.

So yes, she could burn him. I think he knows that and as he said, 'nothing is going to stop this train'. I suspect he's going to make sure she can't stop it.

Saul also mentioned he had legit reciepts drawn up for Walt's gambling 'winnings', since it moved the tax liability from the casino to Walt. Though anyone like Hank that's probably been in his share of poker and other card games would poke a million holes in Walt's supposed 'gambling system', even just as a buddy hearing the story, nevermind a cop.

There is a button in front of you.

Scenario 1:
Pressing button will kill a child. You are given the option of pressing the button, and if you press the button, you will get 1 million $ and the child will die. Thus, this is like a hit contract.

Scenario 2:
You are given a million dollars upfront. No strings attached. You won the lottery.
Now, if you press the button, you will SAVE the childs life, but you will also lose the 1 million dollars that you were just given.

What will you do in scenarios 1 and 2?

The couple debate the ethics of it, but one of them ends up pushing the button. The stranger returns, gives them $1 million, and takes the box. The one who pushed the button asks what he's going to do with the box. The stranger says he's going to take the box and give it to someone who they don't know and have never met (and obviously give the same challenge again). What a great story!
