Have you looked at Q_GLOBAL_STATIC? It's been around for nearly 20 years and
has solved many of those problems.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qglobalstatic.html#Q_GLOBAL_STATIC

If you just want delayed construction without staticness, see these two proof

https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/474885
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/474650

Examples of usage in the unit tests.
