I built QuickMailBites in Flutter for similar reasons — wanted a native desktop email client that wasn't Electron. Flutter for desktop on Linux is actually quite solid now, and the performance difference from Electron is noticeable. The main limitation I hit was just the ecosystem — fewer desktop-focused libraries than Qt has. But for CRUD-heavy apps (like an email client) it works great.
