Alright, then we'll have to postpone using QQC2 for (possibly) some
later upgrade. The product is to be released before Qt 5.6/5.7 hits
the main package repos of Ubuntu. It will be used in remote locations
and serviced once a year. But I think it should be no problem to build
this UX without QQC2 thanks to the tip from others in this thread.

Anyway, thanks for the pointers. We may use QQC2 in the future.
