Not quite sure, but: keep KDE for the sake of continuity and a nicer 
and modern user interface, useful if real workstations should be used.

OTOH recommend lxde if LTSP clients should be used (right at the start 
of the installation options) to avoid a bad user experience. Also, it 
should be pointed out that LTSP now uses NBD to provide the client root 
file system and that's maybe not a good idea to install more that one DE 
in the LTSP server's chroot.

I think so. Further, there should be a hint that installations via PXE 
could install a different DE if the kernel command line is adjusted (PXE 
menu).
