are there any cons of having 4.14.7 in one of the next point releases and KDE5 
via 
backports for jessie?

I understand that in general new upstream releases are not supposed to pushed 
in in 
point releases. In this case it makes perfect sense for me though and there are 
other examples which do it as well, e.g. chromium pushes even bigger changes 
into 
point releases

rd@blackbox:~$ rmadison chromium|grep jessie|grep " amd64"
 chromium | 41.0.2272.118-1        | jessie          | amd64, i386
 chromium | 42.0.2311.135-1~deb8u1 | jessie-p-u      | amd64, i386
 chromium | 42.0.2311.135-1~deb8u1 | jessie-security | amd64, i386
rd@blackbox:~$
