While at it, I am curious what purpose unity builds of Qt are supposed to serve, i.e. in which cases would exclusive use of unity builds be recommended to be used? Are there some docs/notes somewhere, when to use and when not?
Unity builds are mostly for improving build speed. If you're just building Qt modules without actively working on the files then you should see build speed improvements. If you're actively working on a Qt module you don't want to use unity builds, because you don't want big chunks of the module being rebuilt just because you're working on one file. One thing we're hoping for is improved CI times with unity builds.
