It'll "break" in a way. From a console perform the dist-upgrade. Then reinstall aptitude, kde-full, sddm and what else you need. After starting KDE5 you will need to setup your desktop completely from zero. You may find some features missing which you relied on with KDE4. That is "breakage in a way". It helps to install a virtual machine with Debian Sid to observe the progress of the transition but you will still find inconveniences when really using your new desktop which might have escaped you on the test system..
