J8 does support wd and will continue to do so. The format is similar but not identical to J6.
We haven't bothered with the GUI design tool yet. In J6 and earlier, controls had exact xywh positioning which is tedious to get right manually, hence the need for a form editor. J8 uses Qt layouts which are automatic, so a form editor is not so essential. One possibility is that the output from Qt Creator could be read into a J8 wd form definition. But you should find that it is easy enough to create J8 forms manually.
