You only have to set the DPI on the X-Server correctly. Everything
else works out of the box. This is true not only for qutebrowser but
of almost every GUI program. There are few programs that don't scale
Icons.

BUT not every graphics card will detect the DPI correctly. If it
doesn't you have to set it manually:

Xorg:

-dpi int               screen resolution in dots per inch

Best,
