Thanks for looking into this. Any chance that you could try on current debian
sid / debian 12 alpha installer, with a more affected app like 'gedit' or
'evolution'? (these btw. respond to changes through gnome tweaks, but not
through the KDE config, nor the CLI commands).

By the way, in the case of vscode, even if you configure a non-default font,
there are still parts of the interface which use the default GTK font, which up
to a few months ago (in debian at least) would have corresponded with the KDE
configuration.

See the picture here for an example where the two configurations produce a
visual mismatch in vscode:
