"Could" it be possible? Certainly yes, but Qt Quick never wanted to 
provide a public C++ API, only a public QML one. (Why? No idea, wasn't 
there in the room when it was decided; likely, having the freedom of 
rearrange the C++ implementation, which clashes against the strong 
API/ABI promise of Qt. Only the QML API is stable.)

AFAICR, QSkinny is an example of creating Qt Quick scenes from C++.

Of course, scene creation is just one of the aspects, you'd also then 
really want to reimplement C++ the other goodies you get in QML (e.g. 
bindings, Behavior, etc.), some of which are now coming in Qt 6.x.

HTH,
