Multi-arch is in general not something upstream supports; we have some
changes mostly related to cross-building, but otherwise anything beyond
that is mostly "nice to have". Some of the KDE Frameworks (such as kio)
also have runtime components/daemons that can spawn D-Bus services
and/or load plugins. This makes the scenario you described above as hard
to do, and (personally speaking) not something to invest into unless
there is a strong demand for it.
Hence, I'm lowering the severity of this to wishlist.
