This sounds like an elegant solution. It provides a default behaviour that
"just works" for any application out of the box, but then allows the native KDE
apps to add value by transparently using a more efficient mechanism (kio).
I don't know if the use of kio-fuse would introduce any surprises for users.
Examples would be strange "/run/<uid>/..." pathnames appearing in file pickers,
or additional prompts for usernames and passwords. Ideally the latter should
only happen once and the data be saved for future accesses of the same
resource.
Improving the user experience must surely be the primary goal. It's more than a
bit disappointing that seamless drag+drop for the filesystem types the OS can
support isn't present by default.
