Asking out of mostly ignorance, but is Qt still relevant in 2018?

I've noticed that even for standalone graphical applications, it's becoming more and more common to use webapps - either served locally and accessed through a browser, or through something like electron.

Depends on the app. I run some things in the browser but if there is a native app for something, it's always more responsive and faster to use.

Qt is very fast and very cross platform and Qt 5 together with Python is coming in a new form:

Lots of people loathe this trend, so yes, I'd say, anything but web apps packaged as platform apps are relevant.
