QR is a dangerous way to store seed info, IMO, for a few reasons. One is that people are lazy and forgetful, and they may actually print the QR code with a printer of some sort, which would leak the seed.
Another reason is that the cameras on modern smartphones (and who knows what other cameras) automatically scan QR codes constantly. It would be easy to accidentally scan the material and leak it.
