Long time Pixel user here (and an Android dev for that matter) and I had no idea the camera had qr support!

If you are fine with sending the camera stream to Google for analysis...

Hardly a fact. As a privacy minded person I hold the Nexus/Pixel devices quite high in regard in the android ecosystem.

Better to be screwed by google, than to be screwed by both google and samsung/whatever.

Well actually I just tried this with the normal camera and it worked fine without activating lens (or having given it any permissions).
