Most big media author apps are written with Qt. Da Vinci Resolve is a Qt app, so are Cubase, Maya, Substance stuff... Natron... Kdenlive... Qt is part of the standard toolkit for VFX apps if I'm not mistaken also. I'm developing a DAW/media art-ish app with it: https://ossia.io and am super happy with it.

Yes but the better way is through Qt styles. I used https://github.com/randrew/phantomstyle + some custom changes + a custom palette : https://github.com/ossia/score/blob/233932c99139d11b4d90fc497bc14005985cb8aa/src/app/Application.cpp#L189

slint
Slint is a declarative GUI toolkit to build native user interfaces for Rust, C++, or JavaScript apps.
I'll just do some self-promotion and drop a link to an alternative new GUI toolkit: Slint https://slint-ui.com/

qskinny
A lightweight framework on top of the Qt scene graph and only few classes from Qt/Quick. It is usable from C++ and/or QML.
Do you think that an approach like QSkinny would work for you? I've not used it myself in practice (just running the examples, and looking at the code), but the idea of it is that it uses Qt Quick as a backend (so I guess in Qt 6 it would use OpenGL/Vulkan/Metal/etc as needed without you having to do the abstraction), and IIRC it uses some of the private APIs that Qt Quick Controls use as well for the C++ side. QSkinny doesn't require to use QML though (should be optional, but I think C++ is preferred/more tested). It has been said also that during the Qt 6 timeline, there might be a C++ public API for Qt Quick Controls.
