That's correct. We also have the contrast effect which is similar and with
extra metadata that has to come from the client.

I don't personally trust that just blurring all non-opaque regions will be
without regressions in random clients as we take control away from them.

There is an existing proposal to allow the kwin rules to do this. That would
work for both this case and X11 (and be far less horrible than users running a
shell script). Effects already have a code path to read from window properties
for the InternalWindow, so we can "just" have a rule set them.
