The major issue (for us) with not pulling the Plasma 5.23 schedule[1] up to align it better with the Fedora Linux 35 schedule[2] is that we simply can't offer Plasma 5.23 during F35 Beta or F35 Final. A big part of why I was comfortable with switching to Wayland by default[3] for Fedora Linux 34 was that I was shipping the latest in-development release at that time. Looking at the schedule now, we're basically going to have to sit out of Plasma 5.23 like we did for Plasma 5.20 (we shipped Plasma 5.19.5 with Fedora Linux 33 GA and shipped Plasma 5.20 as an update a month later). Ironically, this would be less of a problem if we weren't shipping Wayland by default now... :P At least it looks like the Plasma 5.23 Beta release is after the branch period, so we can probably introduce it into Rawhide and attempt to promote Rawhide during the beta period... (As an aside, it seems weird to expect that .0 release to be bad...)
