I have the same issue on my system.

Fedora 44, Wayland session, NVIDIA 610.43.03:
  plasma-workspace  6.7.3-1.fc44
  kwin              6.7.3-1.fc44
  kf6-kwindowsystem 6.28.0-1.fc44
  qt6-qtbase        6.11.1-1.fc44

Every occurrence of the protocol error equals exactly one plasmashell restart.
Previous boot: 10 errors / 10 restarts. Current boot: 1 / 1.

  plasmashell[5267]: ext_background_effect_surface_v1#191: error 0: tried to
                     set blur region on destroyed surface
  plasmashell[5267]: The Wayland connection experienced a fatal error:
                     Protokollfehler          [locale de_DE, = "Protocol
error"]
  systemd[1684]: plasma-plasmashell.service: Main process exited,
                 code=exited, status=255/EXCEPTION
  systemd[1684]: plasma-plasmashell.service: Scheduled restart job,
                 restart counter is at 2.

Note: plasmashell leaves no coredump, because it exits with a status
code rather than on a signal. coredumpctl therefore only shows its kioworker
children, which segfault during teardown in ~QFontconfigDatabase ->
FcInitLoadOwnConfig.

That second crash is not the cause. It only happens because the parent process
was disconnected. But it is the only part of the sequence that leaves a
coredump. The event that actually starts everything is visible only in the
journal:
  journalctl --user -b | grep ext_background_effect

Client path confirmed: plasmashell has
/usr/lib64/qt6/plugins/kf6/kwindowsystem/KF6WindowSystemKWaylandPlugin.so
(kf6-kwindowsystem-6.28.0-1.fc44) mapped, and that file contains the
ext_background_effect bindings.

Possible frequency factor: this system uses a Kvantum theme with
reduce_window_opacity=18 and reduce_menu_opacity=75, i.e. a large number of
translucent, short-lived surfaces. That may explain 10 restarts in a single
session compared to the lower rates reported so far, and could help with
reproduction.
