A relevant "double emulation" happens for the screen memory though. I wonder if a QL screen model could be directly implemented in UAE.
Also I wonder about mass storage beyond floppy images.

QDOS for Amiga solves that QL screen-to-Amiga-screen problem by employing the Amiga Copper, if I remember right. I'm no expert in modern Graphics cards, but something similar could possibly be achieved with a simple Shader running on the GPU.
