WS2812B - RPi0 - GPIO connection

Hi all,
I read a lot of posts about addressable LED's and i haven't found what i was looking for.
I'm wondering if it is possible to connect WS2812B LED's by the GPIO to control them by QLC+ (especially by artnet).
I found posts about this ( https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x ) library, but i'm not sure how to connect it with qlc (if possible), maybe something throught OLA?
What about connecting 2 lines/universes of LEDs?

Another question is if qlc on rpi0 would handle 2 universes (almost fully used) throught ArtNet.

Asking because i'm planning some instalation and i want to know if it is worth to go with it (i don't want to buy more expensive E1.31 modules if not necessary).

Any of You using/have used setup similar to this one?

I had the same problem and just implemented a solution: https://keawe.de/en/led-matrix

It's a python script running on a plain raspbian image and acts as an ArtNet client.
