I recommend checking out Qt design studio. Once you get the flow on there, it creates a nice clean separation between the UI and backend.

While it may seem like Qt Quick is designed for touch primarily, it is not actually the case. Modern UI/UX design is a bit more abstract, and requires a bit more skill to get working.

My recommendation is to be patient, and work with Qt Quick it will pay off in the end (e.g porting the app to Android, etc). Focus on the UI/UX completely separately from the backend. And once that is established, the models can be developed in C++.
