I would expect CLion to be able to debug your application but not have
specific support for Qt, like introspection of QObjects and containers
etc.

Qt Quick doesn't indeed not work well over VNC. The common workaround is to
not load Quick based plugins of which there are only few:

    path/to/qtcreator -noload Welcome

The session handling bits of the Welcome screen are still independently
available in the 'Files' menu.
