And just running Blender's Python FBX converter
(https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Import-Export/Autodesk_FBX)
as is and then working with the Blender format is not an option?

As a Fedora packager, I can say that the proprietary FBX SDK will never be 
in Fedora, so either you use the Blender code or Qt 3D will not be built 
with FBX support in Fedora, no matter how you ship it. (And if you ship part 
of the SDK in the Qt 3D source tarball, we will really hate you because it 
would force us to respin your tarball with the proprietary code/binaries 
removed. So please don't do that, ever.)
