sddm & wayland config
Thanks everyone for your time - installing xorg-minimal solved the issue; next version should solve the issue topic discussed in sddm github. I leave the following here just in case someone with skill & time comes across - seems a bit of love would not hurt sddm: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1471

Kubuntu changed my login screen
No, the picture shows that the login manager is still sddm, but somehow the login theme used by sddm has been reverted to the sddm default of the 'maui' instead of the 'breeze' theme used by default in Kubuntu. The package shipping the breeze theme (sddm-theme-breeze) may have become uninstalled, or sddm config changed somehow to not use breeze.

Waybar, how to show hour without leading zero?
GNU calls their extensions "equivalent to" things I'd have suggested trying ($_I or $-l), but I'm not sure if the equivalents are themselves GNU extensions, too. Regardless, reading this Waybar Github issue about %OI, I get the impression there was a regression at some point, in any case on March 27th 2022 someone says it "used to work fine until recently".

Persistent workspaces?
I think this has just been added to waybar (wlr/workspaces) to work in a similar manner to how it is in sway/workspaces. No need for fake empty terminals. Something was merged for wwlr/workspaces in the waybar github. See - https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/pull/2089.
