I was testing the same thing today and found that there is a rust client that uses librespot library to create Spotify devices on the system. So this is what I will propose:

pack the librespot client with the app.
use it to create a device with the user's conditionals using a Qt UI form.
use that device with Spotify-qt.

I created a snap version of their client which is 6Mb in size and worked fine with Spotify-qt. (https://github.com/keshavbhatt/librespot/blob/dev/snap/snapcraft.yaml)

Afaik, working with Rust code from C++ isn't that easy. I did some efforts in creating bindings for it, but I think the better solution is to port the entire library to C++ and embed it into the client, which is planned for a future release,
