Are we talking about the panel edit mode, or the general edit mode now?

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that in your experience panel
edit mode in its current form is so dangerous that it should require two steps
to enter, not just one. And that Plasma 5.18 turned it into a one-step process
by default, and regaining the second step requires using the command line,
which is problematic since some of your users are just technical enough that
they can handle the danger of panel edit mode if it's guarded behind a GUI-only
two-step process, but they are not technical enough for one of those steps to
be a command-line action.

If so, all of this definitely points to serious usability issues with panel
edit mode, and requiring an extra step is just a band-aid over that issue.
Could you file bug reports on plasmashell | panel detailing your observations
regarding why its usability is so bad and its danger level so high for the
users in your organization?
