Surely if we go the upstream route we'll have to expect that many teams simply 
won't do it - cuz it's too much extra work and complexity. Leading to 
untranslated strings for users.

Others may want to do it, but can't because their language is one of the 
officially supported ones, or because of differences in taste/conventions 
between an existing upstream team and kde translators. Leading to inconsistent 
translations most likely.

Overall it seems to me the end result would be good for Qt, but bad for KDE.
