What's the benefit of using upstream-supported LTS releases?
Debian stable would would anyway not follow upstream point releases
with rare exceptions like browser engines.

Backporting CVE fixes for these packages, as has already been done for 
many years.

Except for the browser engines, CVEs have been few and fixes easy to backport.

Security support for the 3 years non-LTS support of Debian stable 
releases is not realistically possible for Qt WebEngine unless this
is offered by upstream in an API/ABI compatible way without requiring
newer dependencies (WebKitGTK has such upstream support).
