The problem is that qbitorrent doesn't support DHT via I2P only trackers, you can clearly see the difference in peer numbers if you use I2PSnark. Officially it should work, but I couldn't get any peers.
Officially it won't work. It's impossible for qBittorrent to support DHT via I2P when Libtorrent itself does not support it. qBittorrent along with many other torrent clients are based on Libtorrent.

qBittorrent works well enough as long as you're adding I2P trackers to public torrents you want to find I2P peers with. It's not great but for now that may be the best solution aside from using I2PSnark (which like you said isn't that great).
Fair enough, but I did try with tracker couldn't connect with anyone, switched to I2PSnark worked very well.
