> But I guess the Qt team has decided they don't want to support that direction (i.e. not even trying to port Qt5 to Emscripten, but instead offering this "WebGL streaming" thing)? Although, given how "heavyweight" Qt5 seems to be, I guess cross-compiling the whole thing to WASM would result in something very inefficient.

They do want to support that direction; see Lars Knoll's "Qt Project Status" talk [1] from QtConf 2016. Talk about WebAssembly starts at 50:30 and also mentions the recently-introduced QtLite as a potential path to your concern of the "heavyweight" problem.
