I can not understand how following plasma theme panel backgrounds margins will
solve any of this. Give me screenshots of Plasma panels and Latte panels in
comparison for specific plasma themes that plasma works fine and Latte breaks.

Latte is not following plasma design decisions in every aspect for the simple
reason that Latte gives the user the option to change panel background
roundness and thickness. Plasma is not offering such option, plasma panels are
considered always as fully drawn rectangles and this is not the case for Latte.

The Indicators API that I am referring is at:
 - https://techbase.kde.org/LatteDock
 - https://techbase.kde.org/LatteDock#Indicators

The option in Latte for Plasma Indicators is not the real plasma indicator is
just one of the many indicators available. Plasma Indicator for Latte is hosted
at:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/latte-dock/-/tree/master/indicators/org.kde.latte.plasma

there are plenty other indicators that should also be taken into account that
have nothing to do with plasma themes:

>From my perspective already plasma theme provided margins can not solve any of
this because even Plasma ignores these margins for ALL applets that are
requesting to touch the panel edge, such case is the Plasma TaskManager and
Icon-Only Taskmanager.

So moving back in the start Latte needs a solution for this and actually for
Plasma that solution is irrelevant. The solution for Latte is the Latte
Indicators API provided at: https://techbase.kde.org/LatteDock#Indicators needs
to be extended in order for every indicator to be able to provide metadata for
its maximum drawn area. Based on that Latte could make calculations afterwards
to solve all the scenarios that you describe.
