This is not only multimonitor behavior. 

Tested with just the acer connected (one connected monitor). Shutting the
monitor down or letting it go to monitor sleep (again no PC suspend states,
just monitor sleep. Also disabled DIM) results in it being set to 100% after I
wake it up. It should wake up at 15%. Most likely the issue is from the acer
taking a few seconds to wake up, while plasma itself is ready to display. This
leads to the monitor being recognized as newly connected.

Newly connected monitors in 6.3 are getting set at 100% no matter what the
value in the monitor was?! Proving this I had my huawei at 15%. Disconnected
it. Booted with just the Acer. Connected the huawei. Huawei gets set at 100%
instead of 15%!

Who in their right mind decided to set 100 to connected monitors instead of to
read whatever ddc pulls from the monitor and set it... Or even remember states?

To mitigate this I will just disable ddcutil for powerdevil and use ddcutil on
its own to control my monitors.
$ systemctl --user edit plasma-powerdevil.service

[Service]
Environment=POWERDEVIL_NO_DDCUTIL=1

$ systemctl --user restart plasma-powerdevil.service

Then make two shortcuts for Up and Down

ddcutil  -b 8 --sleep-multiplier .1 setvcp 10 + 1 &
ddcutil  -b 6 --sleep-multiplier .1 setvcp 10 + 1

ddcutil  -b 8 --sleep-multiplier .1 setvcp 10 - 1 &
ddcutil  -b 6 --sleep-multiplier .1 setvcp 10 - 1

See -b * is being set by ddcutil for your monitors. This will change by 1% on
press.
