Okteta will suffer, but hopefully not much:

Okteta sadly still is Qt5-only both in master and current release branch 0.26. 
Otherwise there is only my Qt6 work dump commit branch, still stuck on the one 
remaining but big blocker, replacing the QtScript usage, moving slowly as 
available time permits.

Right now for the Qt5-only release branch 0.26 another bug fix/translations 
update release is planned for Friday this very week, given some more minor 
fixes accumulated again as well as some translation tunings.
No further releases planned (unless a serious bug appears to users before any 
Qt6-based release happens).
So loss of CI (Linux, FreeBSD) not that grave in the release branch (post June 
6th).

Qt5-only master branch also sees no development work for now, as all focus is 
on the QtScript replacement, which is currently done externally in separately 
research/experimental projects/repos, not yet on KDE servers.
So loss of CI (Linux, FreeBSD) also not that grave on master branch.

Besides, using openSUSE TW myself on my development system, that CI job mainly 
doubles my local experience.

The Qt6 work dump commit branch is Qt6-only.
So not affected.

Cheers
