I still is not convinced PyQt is not the best tool for the job. Because if you access so much of the core Qt this days its probadly because the app is using QtWidgets and that stuff will be less and less used also on Linux desktop whenm QtComponents is more stable (that also means less UI fragmentaion between embedded and desktop hopefully..)
For existing Maemo apps written in Pyside/Pyqt4 it's very easy to port to Sailfish with Pyqt5. You're forced to use the GPL license but other than that it seems to work just fine in the Sailfish emulator. For new apps you might wanna stick to Pyotherside though ... but you will not have the whole Qt C++ API then either.
