Qt Widgets maintainers: which screen is hardest to modernize?

I m building Fluent-Qt, but I m stuck on a prioritization problem. I can keep adding controls, yet a longer component list does not tell me whether the library helps someone maintain a real desktop app.
The case I care about is incremental adoption: modernizing one existing screen without replacing Qt s object model, event loop, or CMake setup, and without turning it into a full QML migration.
If you maintain a Qt Widgets app, which single screen or interaction is the hardest to modernize today? What specifically makes it difficult in your codebase?
I m thinking about dense data views, navigation, overlays and dialogs, or window chrome but I may be missing the real blocker.
For context, here is the WebAssembly Gallery for the approach I m testing:

I ll use the replies to pick one screen for a documented integration case study and publish the before/after diff, time spent, and platform limitations.
