Some observations and a data point

We need to focus on Plasma 6.2.4 as code has changed from earlier versions
We also need to focus on Breeze (vs 3rd party themes), since we have no control
over 3rd party cursors (if there is a desire to support scaling for 3rd party
cursor themes that don't have all appropriate sizes, that is indeed a feature
request)

I tested with Plasma 6.2.4 (Breeze cursor theme) as well as git-master (Oxygen
Blue), both on Solus, both cursor size 24
Using text on the screen as a rough visual measure, I changed the display to
150% scale, and then let it revert to 100%
I observed that the cursor was scaled up and down according to the display
scale, it seemed correctly proportional to me
The cursor doesn't change size if it's over the panel or Firefox

I also tested with Breeze Light (white cursors) with a built in size of 36.
Again, I saw the cursor scale proportionally with the display scaling.

As an aside, testing the Classic Flat White cursor theme, there is no ability
to select the size in System Settings - Cursors. It does indeed look smaller
than other cursors at 24px. That's a limitation of that cursor set, which
again, is 3rd party. For that theme, you can try reaching out to the author. I
see a homepage for it in Download New Cursors.

To summarize, n Plasma 6.2.4 with the Breeze cursor theme, you are able to set
the cursor size you find acceptable. 
If you want Plasma to do something with cursor themes that don't support HiDPI
or are limited to one size, that is indeed a feature request.
The KWin devs can chime in with further detail.
