This is incorrect. KDE has no short or mid-term plan to stop supporting X11 
for Plasma.

Plasma developers are currently working on solutions that will allow to have 
RDP functionality working on Wayland. These are still in the WiP/proof of 
concept stages (see here https://quantumproductions.info/articles/2023-08/
remote-desktop-using-rdp-protocol-plasma-wayland for example), but will be 
incorporated into Plasma 6 over the next versions.

Cheers
