I removed the last two of the lines I quoted in comment #14, and now it works as I'd expect. I don't think individual apps should decide to use the system bell because system notifications aren't working - that should be set globally in the control centre.

If the user doesn't have sounds working correctly on their system, konsole shouldn't try to fix it on its own!

System notifications can work perfectly without arts, as long as you specify an external player. They appear on a different screen to "Enable sound system" in the control centre. As far as konsole is concerned, neither starting arts nor changing to system bell because arts isn't running is correct.
There are many good reasons for not using arts (problems with non-kde apps, latency, etc.)

Thanks for taking the time to look into this!
