In addition to porting kwin-type yesterday following your suggestion,
I've now removed all internal KDE uses of fake-input:

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-keyboard/-/merge_requests/182
https://invent.kde.org/sdk/selenium-webdriver-at-spi/-/merge_requests/129
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/xdg-desktop-portal-kde/-/merge_requests/640
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/krdp/-/merge_requests/288
https://invent.kde.org/network/krfb/-/merge_requests/111
plasma-remotecontrollers is archived, but there's a commit anyway just
in case, that's basically the same as the plasma-keyboard one:
https://invent.kde.org/jdonenfeld/plasma-remotecontrollers/-/commits/libei

Once these land, I suppose we can remove it from kwin.
