Nice work, so, there is already something similar done. Can't find where do you define _qt_prefix for your SPEC ( https://git.merproject.org/Kaffeine/qtbase/blob/sailfish-platform-5.9/rpm/qtbase.spec). There are also bunch of conflicts defined there, no idea whether they interfere.
Which issues did you have with Wayland and keyboard (which of them, maliit or qtvirtualkeyboard?). @tortoisedoc: Sounds like this upgrade (5.6->5.9) is as much political as it is technical. As for 5.12, I don't know if there are some bugs there that have to be fixed. When using flatpak platform with 5.12, I have issues with QML Audio and some strange scaling of the map (latter could be also my bug in mapbox gl qml plugin). On 5.11, all performed as it was expected. So, either flatpak platform has still some issues at 5.12 or 5.12 itself has some bugs. To sum up, no idea how much we can help with 5.9 transition and what's holding it back specifically.
