This bug is still valid: while all the UI interactions involving trust sessions are working fine (there is no splash screen -- as I believe is correct), there are still cases where the Online Accounts UI is not invoked within a trust session, and that's typically when the client process is not a GUI application. This is the case of scopes and some system services (sync-monitor, and maybe telepathy in the future).
As I wrote in comment #1, many times even if the OAuth access token is expired, the cookies are still valid and we might be able to get a new access token without showing a web page. But we cannot know this in advance: we'll know it only after loading a webview (and Oxide requires a QGuiApplication) which we'll keep hidden until either we get redirected to the page where we get the access token (in which case the user will not see any UI at all) or until it's clear that we cannot proceed without the user interaction, in which case we can either show a snap decision or just return an error to the client.
