Here's a report of the effort involved with making the Subsurface dive log desktop application run on mobile as well. The tl;dr seems to be that

1) it was a lot of work

2) users don't like the result very much

There's a huge mismatch between how users want to interact with desktop and mobile applications that makes convergence really hard to do effectively in a single codebase.

A lot of the issues mentioned there stem from platform differences though. The packaging hurdles and out-of-place UI style wouldn't be an issue on a convergent platform, though the difficulty and slight ugliness of QML/Kirigami wouldn't change.
