In the U.S. it's explicitly legal.
From US CFR Title 47 Part 97.119(c)(c) One or more indicators may be included
with the call sign. Each indicator must be separated from the call sign by the
slant mark (/) or by any suitable word that denotes the slant mark. If an
indicator is self-assigned, it must be included before, after, or both before
and after, the call sign. No self-assigned indicator may conflict with any
other indicator specified by the FCC Rules or with any prefix assigned to
another country.
The advantage of adding the /QRP is that you will get more responders (i.e.
stations you have worked before) since the "worked B4" won't trigger on their
end. With JT modes in particular if you want to try and do WAS on QRP this is
pretty much the only way you'll get 'er done if you've already done WAS as
non-QRP.
There have been a few asking what power I was running so wanted to add that to
the last message. Was running 5W intially but now running 2W on my attic
dipole. I've had two -01 reports at 2W from my QTH (Illinois) to NC and VA.
Only 73 contacts so far.
I'll poke around the packing routines to see how to fix this.

Hi Mike & all,
At my knowledge and in contrast to "/P", "/M", "/MM", the suffix "/QRP"
is not an allowed suffix. But there may be national differences.
Best wishes,
