Hey Maurice, Glad to see your interest in this project! I don't know a lot about this area personally, but you might be able to learn more about the approaches and issues involved by looking at Gtk.jl, which is a fairly complete effort in a similar area. Other than that, a simple protoype might help us to evaluate the idea.
I'd be interested in your take on the relative pros and cons of wrapping Qt5 wholesale vs. taking the QML approach you've described.
