I know that the KWin crashes are most probably due to a Qt bug (I'm getting this crash with Breeze windeco for instance https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340129, which looks a lot like Qt issue, but on the other hand does not happen with Oxygen). I didn't want to blame KWin for being the buggy one, I rather wanted to point out the fact that it simply crashes (and users don't care much about *where* application actually crashes), while I haven't seen any similar crash in other Qt5 apps. In Plasma some of the backtrace I've seen are similar to the KWin ones (i.e a Qt issue most probably), but many of them just seem to be in Plasma code.
