I've myself switched to "Plasma 5.21.4". Like, not planing to go back.
It allows me to use kwin-wayland by fixing:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404092

I answer here because it seems the first post in that line.

I'd be happy to hear about:

How did you manage to install the binaries related to the source package, but 
only those that you need. Sort of.

I've myself be guided to the line:

`apt install -t experimental $(dpkg -l | grep 5.20.5 | awk '/^ii/ {print 
$2}')`

And about pinning experimental with a low priority...

And also:

Do you feel that "Plasma 5.21.4" is working better when with "Frameworks 
5.81.0"?

Or that, if I'm satisfied with Plasma-5.21.4, I shouldn't bother with 
Framework-5.81.0?

(Satisfied here is more a question of "how much" than of "yes or no". Certainly 
there are plenty of things that are not performing the way they should. But 
the feeling is that Wayland is more stable, more robust, faster: better in 
every way that really matter. And no, the bells and whistles are not there 
yet. And plenty of small things are crashing, but the desktop itself seems 
dependable. And if something is not working with Wayland, you can expect 
there'll be a fix someday.)

Anyway:

How do you manage installs and upgrades related to Experimental Framework and 
Plasma?

What is you level of satisfaction about it?

Are you planing to keep on using them, until they come to unstable in a 
distant future?

I don't suppose you are usually using experimental as your regular debian 
source?

Thanks,
