Here is the functionality that will break:
From David Rosca:

Those will be now hidden when building without GConf.
From Christophe Giboudeaux:

To me it seems like it is dropping gconf support for *now* and readding
gsettings support back in with Plasma 5.14. There may be some users who
use virtual devices, but I bet most users won´t. And those may still be
able to use paprefs as a interim solution.
