For troubleshooting things, qmicli (installed with libqmi) is
definitely the best way; it allows you to run QMI commands
independently one by one, and it also prints the full human-readable
contents of the message in verbose output.

You're not the first one asking for a GLib/GIO-less libqmi/qmicli; I
actually have been in the situation of wanting one myself when I was
playing with an embedded device with very low capabilities. I may try
to write something during this next year if I find enough free time to
do so.
