One feature of weechat you may be interested in is it's relay mode:

https://weechat.org/files/doc/weechat/stable/weechat_user.en.html#relay

If you flipped this architecture around you should be able to run
weechat as your bouncer then connect quassel or any other client to
weechat with it's IRC relay mode. Weechat also has a list of remote
interfaces that can use this

https://weechat.org/about/interfaces/

OTOH if you prefer the setup you've got I've had 0 issues with the
Python plugins I've written for weechat. A Quassel/weechat proxy plugin
should be pretty straight forward and if you prefer a standalone bridge,
as others have suggested Python is great for that too!
