$\newcommand{\E}{\mathbb{E}}$ Unfortunately the upper bound $n^{3/2}$ you obtained cannot be improved. In fact $$\E \sup_{Q} \langle W, Q Q^T \rangle = \Theta(n^{3/2}).$$ First of all, note that it is enough to bound this quantity for $Z$ a matrix with independent gaussians (as opposed to a symmetric matrix), since $\sqrt{2} W = Z + Z^T + D$ where $Z$ is a matrix with independent gaussian entries, and $D$ is a diagonal matrix with entries $D_{ii} = (\sqrt{2} - 2)Z_{ii}$. It is fairly easy to bound $\mathbb{E} \sup_Q \langle D, Q Q^T \rangle \leq O(\sqrt{n})$, and since for any $Q$ we have $\langle Z^T, Q Q^T\rangle = \langle Z, Q Q^T \rangle$, we get $$ \E \sup_Q \langle W, Q Q^T \rangle \approx \E \sup_Q \langle Z, Q Q^T \rangle $$ Moreover note that by restricting our choice to $\theta_i \in \pm \pi/2$ we can get $Q Q^T$ to be any rank one matrix of form $q q^T$ for $q \in \{\pm 1\}^n$. On the other hand, for an upper bound we can use a simple triangle inequality to get $$ \sup_{q \in \{\pm 1\}^n} \langle Z, q q^T \rangle \leq \sup_{Q} \langle Z, Q Q^T \rangle \leq 2 \sup_{q \in [\pm 1]^n} \langle Z, q q^T \rangle. $$ Let us consider now a gaussian process $X_q := \langle Z, q q^T \rangle$, for $q \in [\pm 1]^n$. We will first show the lower bound $$ \E \sup_{q \in \{ \pm 1\}^n} X_q \gtrsim n^{3/2}, $$ and then for completeness also the upper bound $$ \E \sup_{q \in [\pm 1]^n} X_q \lesssim n^{3/2}. $$ By the Talagrands majoring measure theorem (see for example section 3.4 in [chaining](https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/34872844/57723140.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=yand) for relevant definitions) we have $$ \E \sup_{q \in \{\pm 1\}^n} X_q \approx \gamma_2(\{\pm 1\}^n, d_X), \tag{1} $$ where $d_X : \{\pm 1\}^n \times \{ \pm 1\}^n \to \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$ is a pseudo metric given by $d_X(u, v) := \sqrt{\E (X_u - X_v)^2}$. Note that for $u, v \in \{\pm 1\}^n$, we have $$ \mathbb{E} (X_u - X_v)^2 = \|u u^T - v v^T\|_F^2, $$ where $\|A\|_F^2 := \sum_{ij} A_{ij}^2$. When $\|u\|_2 = \|v\|_2 = \theta$ an elementary calculation leads to $$ \begin{split} \|u u^T - v v^T\|_F & \approx \|u u^T - v v^T\|_{op} \\ & = \theta^2(1 - \langle u/\|u\|, v/\|v\|\rangle^2) \gtrsim \|u - v\|_2^2. \end{split} $$ Let us consider now a set $T \subset \{\pm 1\}^n$ satisfying $|T| \geq 2^{\Omega(n)}$ and $\forall u,v \in T \|u - v\|_2 \gtrsim \sqrt{n}$ (i.e. en error-correcting code with constant rate and distance). Clearly $\gamma_2(\{\pm 1\}^n, d_X) \geq \gamma_2(T, d_X)$ and since $d_X$ on $T$ is lower bounded by a discrete metric $d_X(u,v) \geq c n \mathbf{1}[u=v]$, we have $\gamma_2(T, d_X) \gtrsim n \sqrt{\log |T|} \gtrsim n^{3/2}$, completing the proof of the lower bound: $$ \E \sup_Q \langle W, Q Q^T \rangle \gtrsim \E \sup_{q\in\{\pm 1\}^n} \langle Z, q q^T \rangle \approx \gamma_2(\{\pm 1\}^n, d_X) \geq \gamma_2(T, d_X) \gtrsim n^{3/2}. $$ For the upper bound, a simple calculation shows that $$ d_X(u, v) = \|uu^T - v v^T\|_F \leq \max(\|u\|_2, \|v\|_2) \|u - v\|_2. $$ This yields $$\E \sup_{q\in[\pm 1]^n} X_q \approx \gamma_2([\pm 1]^n, d_X) \lesssim \gamma_2([\pm 1]^n, \sqrt{n} d_2) = \sqrt{n} \gamma_2([\pm 1]^n, d_2) \tag{2}$$ where $d_2(u, v) = \|u - v\|$. Finally, applying the majorizing measures theorem again, we know that $\gamma_2([\pm 1]^n, d_2) \approx \E \sup_{q \in [\pm 1]} \langle q, G \rangle$, where $G$ is a gaussian vector in $\mathbb{R}^n$. This gives $$\gamma_2([\pm 1]^n, d_2) \approx \E \|G\|_1 \approx n.\tag{3}$$ Combining (2) and (3) yields the desired upper bound $$ \E \sup_Q \langle W, Q Q^T \rangle \lesssim \E \sup_{q \in [\pm 1]^n} X_q \lesssim n^{3/2}. $$
