I think that would be a Good Thing, independent of Qt.

At least from my experience, using C++ can make it a lot easier to
structure large code bases, and thus make them more easily comprehendable.
Independently of what one thinks about the language itself :-).

But maybe I'm biased because I've been using C++ in commercial settings
a lot, in large projects, and for a very long time.  I'd be interested to
hear what other contributors think about this.
