Would this work?

Install Qubes onto USB Drive then boot up setup all VMs update everything and power off then plug writeblocker between USB-Drive and USB-Port boot up and once done turn off and no writing changes to the USB-Drive have been done?
Only ever boot without the write-blocker to install updates preferably from a different network only ever used for updates.
Could this be a workaround to the last thing Tails is superior in (amnesia)?

probably not, don't think its a goal of Qubes-os, this is for normal desktop users. There is the option to use a disposable vm for everything if you want?

Note that the current implementation of DispVMs does not resist local forensics:
