I have updated plasma to version 5.18.0.

The instructions for starting plasma are to add:
dbus-launch --exit-with-session $KF5_PREFIX/bin/startplasma-x11
and this works fine on my system.
In addition, plasma now has a version using wayland,
startplasma-wayland,
but that does not work for me. It seems to start up OK, but comes up
in a window less than the full size of the monitor. It also ignores
any mouse click or keyboard inputs, although the cursor does change
shape when moving into the window.
The keyboard does respond to Ctrl-F2, etc and from there I can look at
the processes running and kill the instance and several aux processes
that are started.
I'd like to request that someone build this verion of kf5-5.67 and
plasma-5.18 and see if this behavior can be confirmed. In the
meantime, I do not plan on mentioning wayland in the plasma section of
the book other than the build dependency.
Any insight is welcome.

A note. We do have
as_root install -dvm 755 /usr/share/wayland-sessions &&
cd /usr/share/wayland-sessions/ &&
[ -e plasma.desktop ] ||
as_root ln -sfv $KF5_PREFIX/share/wayland-sessions/plasma.desktop
which was added by DJ for dispolay managers to find Plasma, but as a
minimum the 'plasma.desktop' entries still need to be changed to
'plasmawayland.desktop'.
Plasma starts fine here
dbus-launch --exit-with-session startplasma-wayland
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
wayland
