The only drawback to this approach is that actions you declare in QML won't be immediately usable from C++, but I don't see this as a big issue. You will either keep everything in QML or have your business logic including your QActions defined in in C++.

No, that idea is meant to be in parallel: if you have legacy code which already creates QActions maybe it's possible expose them to QML; but for new QtQuick code we will have a new action which doesn't depend on widgets.
