I know, and use Wayland sessions most of the time (although most of my time
isn't spent on KDE), but sometimes various reasons can make you prefer the X11
counterpart (such as bugs on icons, not breaking bugs, bug very annoying for
daily use), even if you lose nice things (multitouch navigation in Firefox, for
example, is neat, and Wayland-exclusive). Some DEs/WMs also are quite late for
their Wayland support/migration (XFCE, LXDE), or even don't plan on ever doing
one (i3wm, Awesome WM and so on) while still having users :)

For my personal case, although I spent more time on GNOME and Hyprland, for now
the icons issues are irritating enough that I'd prefer to run Plasma over a X11
session though.

Anyway, I'd usually report an issue I find even if, because maintainer don't
have the time to tackle it (issue's too minor, is about abandoned features like
X11 support might be here, nobody's interested into working on this issue,
because no maintainer ever owe anything to anyone, or whatever reason
maintainers could have), but from what I understand and regarding KDE
specifically, if I find new issues that affect Plasma only on X11 session while
being fine on Wayland, then it's better not to report them anymore, right?
