In theory, but see https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/47846


I would stick to the documented contract, without any fancy ad-hoc workarounds that work today and may get broken tomorrow. Case in point, image plugins have the right of happily start loading fonts, accessing the clipboard, querying the screen DPI and whatnot. Any breakage caused by this because of a lack of a QGuiApplication instance is a bug in application code, not Qt.
