You have plenty of Qx on the river in your betting range with QT and KQ.
Imho you're overapplying the concept of having a well diversified range on a variety of runouts. You want to avoid having a capped range vs an uncapped range, yes, and this is to prevent your opponent from betting all-in with the part of his range that has 100% equity vs your range.
Just for fun though, let's just say that somehow in this example you never bet any Qx combo on the turn. Your opponent therefore receives the opportunity to donk jam for stacks on any Q river. However, the river is a Q 4% of the time, and your opponent is limited to betting only the remaining stacks (this isnt a particularly deepstacked situation), and is also limited by the total combos of Qx in their range with regards to their overall jamming frequency. So true, you would lose 100% of the potshare in this scenario, but you would only be losing it to his Qx+bluffs region (maybe 10% of range can jam, as an estimate), multiplied by 4% for this specific runout. The point I'm trying to get at is that this is not going to significantly effect the EV of this theoretical turn scenario to the extent that you would be very worried about adding in a marginal number more combos as traps for this particular river.
Also not to mention that villains typically don't donk jam it in here in practice, so you're unlikely to face the correct betsize that hurts your EV anyways.
So basically, yeah, just check your Qx here, as you are well defended anyways by your full house and quads combinations. It's really bad to get check raised off your equity here by trips and straights, and your hand is not strong enough to get value nor likely to make Kx fold
