I've been having issues with Window Managers lately either mouse or keyboard issues when gaming and my annoyance after using them for a solid couple years when it comes to configuring them. So I asked "can't I just make Plasma look like one?" answer is yes.
It tiles the same way DWL or another WM does, made the status bar to also look the same. I prefer Konsole now over other terminal emulators so I just left it as is. My Plasma is now essentially a tiling WM without the headaches of a tiling WM and everything now just works.

Neat. What did you use to make Plasma behave like a tiling WM?

I was using Krohnkite for automatic tiling but then I figured I wanted something manual like sway or dwl so I just set up my keybinds to utilize the existing kwin tiling stuff. It's all baked in Plasma tiling features with Custom Quick Tile and Quick Tile. so I keybind HJKL to change focus between windows and meta+shift HJKL to manually tile.
