Okay I'm back sorry.

I did #1 as asked before I found out plasma-workspace is a package that
existed, and I didn't get anywhere with this. I thought I've uninstalled a
package that seemed like it included the gesture (couldn't remember what
that package was, but it was plasma-touch related), but that did not work.
What if I just uninstalled plasma5-workspace as a package? lol

I'm doing #2 as I type.

It should. Every fresh install as far as I know with KDE Plasma included
(different distros like Manjaro, Void, Fedora, OpenSUSE), it is still very
much there.
