For those, would the new value type bindings be a sufficient replacement?

Once your type is a Q_GADGET you should be able to make a copy of it visible in JavaScript as easy as

QJSValue value = engine.toScriptValue(myValueType);

I'm afraid the debugging isn't quite on the table yet as we're still exploring different
implementations. The approach chosen in QtScript is too limiting for the engine
overall, but Andre has done some amazing work on trying out a new approach that
combines with the native debugger. But we're not talking API at this point though.
