So KDE6 IMHO is not up for the job (yet) of replacing Latte-dock, after 
spending far too long trying various roundabout ways to use panels and 
plugins I didn't even get close, or got a stable result...

But Latte-dock is being ported to plasma 6:

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/latte-dock/-/issues/134
https://github.com/KDE/latte-dock/tree/work/plasma6

So I did the right thing and sponsored the effort since I can't donate code.

Cheers.
