Both Qt and GTK+ have been around for a long time and are actively used in a lot of software. GTK+ has had lulls in its development in the past and Qt's development focus is dependent on who the majority of Digia's customers are, so neither is risk free but both are probably reasonably safe. Another alternative would be to use a browser as the UI and implement the bulk of the logic in Rust.
