It doesn't need to do that setParent() call, all it needs to do is
call the constructor
with the supplied arguments and add 'this' at the end.

Why would it need to deduce it? You have a member template, there's no
need to deduce
anything, the type of the parent is just the type of '*this'.

Ehh?
parent.createChildObject<TypeOfYourObject>();
Implemented, literally, as
template <class Child, class... Args>
Child* QObject::createChildObject(Args&&... args) {
return new Child(std::forward<Args>(args)..., this);
}

That's not needed at all.

No. Make that creation function a member function template of QObject,
and QWidget.
