It is commonly used for non-headings, as its smallest size "5" is equal to the size you set. 4 is a little bigger, 3 is a bit bigger, and so on, until you get to 1, which is an actual header-sized text label.

  The different sizes you talk about conceptually correspond to the different static sizes users can set in the fonts KCM (e.g. title, normal text, small text etc.), only that they follow a more modern approach with sizing, rooted in desktop publishing and web design. There's nothing wrong with that.
  
  What tickled me was the proposal to dynamically bind the font size to a zoom slider controlling the icon size. That's not something I've seen elsewhere so far, not even in Kirigami apps.
