Its possible to binary load in Qlik Sense but its not recommended in a larger more active environment because of the danger of file locking. Thats because in Qlik Sense all apps reside in a single folder on the Qlik share. https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Binary-Loads-in-Qlik-Sense-Binary-load-fails...
You can still use the same concept but tweak it so that instead of a QVF/QVW (app) being used to store your model, write the tables in the data model to a folder containing QVDs. https://community.qlik.com/t5/New-to-Qlik-Sense/Store-all-tables-as-QVD/td-p/1668635
You can store the QVDs in whatever folders you want on the server or on an SMB share and reference the 'model QVDs' via folder connections. This gives you some added security because you secure data connections in qlik sense with security rules, but you cannot in qlikview.
If you migrate your apps to qlik sense, consider deploying Qlik Cloud instead which is a SaaS version of Qlik Sense. In SaaS, you can store apps in multiple logical locations ('spaces') and deploy the QVW/QVF model approach you used in QlikView with binary loading. You can also reload apps securely from data sources that are on-premesis behind a firewall using the Direct Access Data Gateway. That way you don't have to provision and maintain architecture and for the most part, not worry about upgrades.
