Just to recap why it was decided to make it start by the plasma shell and to actually remove the autostart file (part of Ivan's Gsoc last year):
krunner being present or not is something that depends from the shell ux, and one shell can decide to not have krunner, and even stopping it if it's already running (active, for instance)
(also, the only reason it actually made sense to split the system monitor for it, increasing overhead)
relying again on autostart files it forces krunner on every shell, having a process that may not be used at all.
