I encountered the same issue.

Before #1109233 was fixed, I was unable to input anything (mouse and
keyboard). After that, mouse input works fine but keyboard input is
still broken.

Just tried building and upgrading krdp and kpipewire to 6.4.2[1][2][3],
and it seems to fix the issue. There may be some commits worth
backporting if 6.4.x is not expected to be packaged soon.

[1]: I didn't test other versions.
[2]: You'll need to patch them so that it can build against a slightly
out-of-date extra-cmake-modules version.
[3]: You'll need to backport a commit and build xdg-desktop-portal-kde
in order to make them work:
