Very late to the party but the clean solution is to use an embedded TextMetrics object. Like this:

...
Text {
  id: textObj
  width: Math.min(textWidth, myThreshold)

  // access to binding-loop-free width and height:
  readonly property alias textWidth: textMetrics.boundingRect.width
  readonly property alias textHeight: textMetrics.boundingRect.height

  TextMetrics {
    id: textMetrics
    font: textObj.font
    text: textObj.text
    elide: textObj.elide
  }
}
