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++.

And that new action is also integratable with QtWidgets somehow? Or is 
that an action type that only integrates nicely with QML, but not with 
widgets? Please realize that code based on widgets is not by definition 
"legacy". The desktop is very much alive. New things are still written 
using it.
