On linux systems where desktop manager does not do it automatically, you
can use (in case of QT 5) qt5ct tool to set it up. E.g. you select
fusion
style and "darker" (or any other you might like) color scheme.
Then before running lyx you set the environment variable
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
and that should work (tested on oldstable debian).

Given that you are now the principal maintainer of the windows port
I think that's up to you to decide.
Advantage of fusion is that it will look the same across platform
disadvantage might be that it looks less native to windows than
other apps on your desktop?
Actually Qt blog says that "their" preferred style on Windows is fusion
¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
So would that be something we want to set on all platforms? or only Windows?
I attached 2 patches accordingly, the style can be overwritten by the
user through command line arguments as before.
Which one should I push?

IMO, the way to go is to have a setting in Preferences, User Interface
that lets the user choose the style (which is then applied after a
restart of LyX). A simple combobox that let's one choose between the
styles which can be queried from QStyleFactory::keys().
This would be good to have on both Windows and macOS. Maybe the default
should still be the default native style on both systems since it
provides the most native look and feel? But one could then optionally
choose the fusion style (among others).
On Windows, this would apparently offer dark mode support. On macOS, one
could get around a buggy native style if wanted (e.g. remember the time
when labels on tabs disappeared and the still blue lines between tabs
with Qt 5). I am ignorant about Linux.
