Not really. It can run hours without problems, if the TV is just running.
Another TV input can be selected for the whole time. Problem occurs some time
(I did not measure it - but I expect some random factor) after the TV is turned
off. As I noticed, there is not an udev event informing  system about a TV HDMI
input change. Only TV/receiver power change events are visible to udev:
KERNEL[261763.533400] change   /devices/platform/axi/axi:gpu/drm/card1 (drm)
UDEV  [261763.543607] change   /devices/platform/axi/axi:gpu/drm/card1 (drm)
KERNEL[261763.981039] change   /devices/platform/axi/axi:gpu/drm/card1 (drm)
UDEV  [261763.983270] change   /devices/platform/axi/axi:gpu/drm/card1 (drm)

Plasmashell knows that the TV has been switched off. I can see a little CPU
peak from plasmashell at the same time. But then CPU usage gets immediately
back to "zero", except the time polling after one second. For a time longer
than a time selected for monitor dimming (3minutes) or switching off
(10minutes) in KDE power settings. Actually it is not only the TV. My RPi5 is
connected to the game HDMI input of my Denon receiver (with power states
changes driven by TV).  This is due to Bravia has only two high speed VRR UHD
120Hz HDMI2.1 ports. One is connected to PS5, and the second one is eARC HDMI
connected to this receiver. So those UDEV events are probably related to this
receiver too, and I can see some occasional UDEV events (same as above) even if
TV and receiver are both switched off.
Just one minute after Your response I did following steps:
- I switched the TV on
- I did remote login to the server via ssh and I started plasmashell again
- I started udevadm -d monitor as a root in the remote ssh session
- I changed the TV input source to HDMI4 (eARC with receiver with RPi5
connected into the faster game port supporting VRR and other HDMI2.1 features)
- I started next ssh session in which htop is running
- I switched TV input to DVB-T2 TV -> No changes in CPU usage or in UDEV events
logging.
- One minute after I turned the TV off (Receiver has been turned to sleep mode
automatically by the TV at the same time)
- Few minutes after the receiver sent some UDEV events followed by small CPU
usage plasmashell peek (normal activity - Denon receiver checks for firmware
updates)
- I am waiting for changes. And until now. And everything is still in normal
with zero CPU consumption.

But I can bet that (at the latest) few hours after the behavior will be
different. Because of it always is. With the change that it is not about 15%
CPU usage, but it will be 80-90% now (after last system updates). And the same
will show htop kwin_wayland.

Maybe... Is it really related to video? Could it be a sound event? Sound output
is via HDMI too. But, I don't know, what type of a sound notification it could
be. Akonadi is running, but it is not configured yet (except the calendar DAV
events - enabled even in digital clock calendar - but kdav has been broken in
the last release, and the synchronization does not work - Bug 525262 ). There
is not any other special application running - Except, there is always some
forgotten konsole session.
