Both self-employment and selfsufficiency are valid categories of qualified person.
Only one category will be accepted at a time in terms of acquiring PR.

The question will be was selfemployment genuine and effective rather than supplementary and marginal to doing something else, for example to being selfsufficient.

I am not sure a legal basis exist for that. A person can exercise treaty rights in many capacity. Not sure the law preclude both being taken into account.
