just create a new user and build kde with kdesrc-build it wont effect your systemwide settings/applications/libraries/frameworks or your other user accounts. whenever you are logging in just select kde-dev session as X11/wayland development (or whatever you created for your kde development account) and use newly build kde and when you need stable use your previous account with X11/wayland (not development) session. it is easier than explaining, if you need help just visit librechat irc #kde-devel channel
