Thanks tate, your solution made almost all of the issues go away here.

1. I've had the issue that "kmix" entry doesn't open anything when using the
Application Menu and selecting it. Not sure if bug. I've uninstalled  kmix
package.
2. Since I uninstalled kmix package and then logged out and back in Plasma -
Now the sound volume popup shows percents above 100% and does increase the
sound actually above 100%.
2.1 Not sure if kmix ships with another implementation of the sound volume
popup that looks the same as the plasmashell one, or it is really a single
volume popup that was hijacked by kmix while it was installed.
2.2 Not sure why this kmix hijacking caused such problems. Kmix is installed by
default with the kde-applications-meta package of Arch. Seems strange that I'm
the only one complaining with this issue.
3. Now the volume changes doesn't have such issues with one level being
significantly lower than the other levels, and no more large
increases/decreases of sound between levels next to each other (like 45% and
50% for example). Volume change is smooth, except in 4 below.
4. Still I see sometimes it refuses to change between levels (as in refuses to
"service" the request for volume change) or about 3-4 seconds, but it seems
that these cases might have started to happen less rare/frequently than it was
before kmix was uninstalled. Also, now when these "service refusing" happen,
the volume sound level popup doesn't print the percentages as if they have
changed (while not changed in reality), but prints the same stucked percentage
number until it finally unstucks 3-4 seconds later and then it starts to work
correctly again. This is bearable i think for now.
