That sounds like either your DISPLAY is not set, or you're running
Wayland without XWayland.
What do you get with "echo $DISPLAY"?
If it's the former, find out why that is, because it definitely should
be (you won't be able to start any GUI apps from the terminal).

Notably, there is no Qt wayland plugin installed. Do you have
"qtwayland5" installed?
If yes, "export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1" might tell you more about why it's
not being loaded.

Also note Qt 5 (and qutebrowser 2.5.0 you'd get from the Ubuntu repos)
are both rather outdated. If you don't need proprietary codecs, you
might be better off installing something newer in a virtualenv:
