It's your job to make it not to leak. You have to write Modern C++ wrappers around C libs.
Similarity, The same can be said for Java. You can do low level in Java.
C++ is not C. C++ has backward compatibility with C.
Look at Boost folks, they wrote a Modern C++ wrapper around a C HTTP parser.
> And as I said, I’m familiar with RAII, it’s really great when the given object is scope-based, but can’t do anything otherwise.
Nothing is impossible.
You can use Scope Exit Guard with QT Widget.

> And if the new subclass has some non-standard object life cycle you HAVE to handle that case somewhere else, modifying another aspect of the code. It is not invisible, unless you want leaking code/memory corruption.
Again, Scope Exit Guards solve your problem!
