Thank you. Hunting around on-line, the command *c.editor.command = ["alacritty", "-e", "nvim", "{}", "+call cursor({line}, {column})"] *seems to work for people. In my case the temp file is created, has my content in it when I save it, but is then deleted when nvim closes. The text box never receives anything. I removed the +call cursor argument, but the behavior doesn't change. The temp file has permissions on it such that qutebrowser should be able to access it.
