Taking libvirt out of the loop is likely to make your life harder
in the long term, especially as you'll no longer be insulated from
changes in QEMU's external management interfaces. QEMU may look
simple to manage directly at first glance, but it is actually quite
a complicated to do it well when you look closely.
