Since 5.13 is next feature release and we "just" released Plasma 5.12,
there is still time till Plasma 5.13 release, the beta is expected on
May 17, and final release is on June 12.

So I think best for you is to have a patched kwin and kwayland packages.

also note that kwayland is part of KDE frameworks, so hopefully at least
kwayland patch will be included in Next month's KDE Frameworks 5.45
release.

Thanks
