I am no developer, this massively exceeds my skills.
When writing programs in FreePascal (this is what I actually do), I run
filenames through a little function that does a translation. Nothing else
should be necessary (so I _guess_) to do in the file browser. Translate
filenamed into UTF-8 (IIRC there are existing libraries for that) when reading
a directory, and translate back to the locale encoding before writing/creating
a file/directory.
So I think/guess/assume there is for sure a point where a similar functionality
can be hooked in in KDE, too.
