KDE bloat, WMs rule. Therefore, we must use get rid of the DE in KDE and we are left with... everyone's favorite WM, KWin!
There are only three easy steps. First, set up the environmental variables and start up D-Bus:
export $(dbus-launch)
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
Now enjoy your super unbloated standalone compositing Wayland window manager with kwin_wayland konsole. Need XWayland? To add that extra bloat, just pass the --xwayland flag.
All set! Now you can flex your very unbloated WM in all of its glory. It's Wayland, too! Now try getting some work done...
