How recent? Debian's latest stable, Buster, got released a couple of months ago. Raspbian's rebase on Debian Buster is recent, like a good month ago. Raspbian should sport Buster's Qt version.

Right, and Buster has Qt 5.11. Qt 5.14 is nearly out and there've been some fairly significant changes in .12 and .13 (and finally a JS native table model for .14 — Qt Quick 2 is really, really immature).

Of course Debian only bundles X11 versions of Qt so if you're looking for an EGLFS build, you're still stuck rolling your own. If the Qt folks distributed pre-built EGLFS binaries for the Pi this would be a huge usability win IMO.
