I've personally found qsize() to be useful, even essential, as if it was over some threshold it indicated my program was deadlocked. ;) Knowing when that condition occurred, and logging it, was crucial to fixing the bug. I didn't care so much about the exact value as that it was far too big. So qsize() IMHO should stay, empty() and full() can go.
