I really don't see why you would want to let that QSS have an upgrade then. The thing they really need (the active) they can already buy in the current game without having to spend money on that BF.

I think it's fine that some items are just really situational and they should stay that way. It doesn't need those extra  stats to make it more attractive.

You also state that the lack of offensive stats is what makes your item balanced, yet you give 20% CDR as one of the possible stats. CDR is an offensive stat, it increases your DPS especially on burst mages. Saying it isn't is like saying Attack Speed isn't an offensive stat.
