To be sure, I have absolutely no insight into future development plans for Calibre. I do trust in Kovid. :-)

Part of the issues you are seeing are not due to reliance on QT but rather changing the QT component used. Kovid was using QTWebKit which has been poorly supported for the last couple of years and has moved to QTWebEngine which is, theoretically, better supported. Going by the experiences of Kovid with calibre and KevinH/DiapDealer with Sigil, there are quite a few glitches in QTWebEngine which have bitten both programs.
