Have look at the manual tests in Qt3D 
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qt3d.git/tree/tests/manual?h=5.15

- texture-updates-cpp -> C++ to GPU uploads

- rendercapture* -> GPU Back buffer / FBO to C++/QML download

- sharedtexture if you want to create a raw OpenGL texture and have Qt3D 
use it

- deferred-renderer* for rendering into FBO and reusing FBO attachement 
in a second pass

changing the #ifdef would trigger a whole shader recompilation , fine 
for prototyping, probably not for production.

You would have to modify the shader code directly, something like:

property int value: 1

ShaderProgram {

     fragmentShader: "

         #ifdef " + value + "

             ...

        #else

       ..."

}
