Maya, Krita, Octave, OBS, Scribus, Virtualbox, Wireshark. These all have fairly modern Qt GUIs and you can find screenshots around easily enough.
The comparison to Electron is somewhat flawed though. I mean, the GUI in an Electron application owes much more to whatever library they choose than to the fact that it runs inside Electron. Electron provides no particular GUI elements to the developer.

Besides, QtWebEngine allows you to embed chromium into a QT app which means you can effectively get a similar stack as electron but also have the option to use desktop native widgets
