What exactly is the behavior of using (0,0) on your system?
What makes it preferable to providing a more direct hint?

The code I've written simply provides an educated guess at
a good default; the window manager would still choose, I
assume.

In short, I don't see the point of using (0,0) and Q_WS_X11.
