TLDR: there is a solution, and it is released in Plasma 6, and you can patch
Plasma 5 if you need to.

Until recently I had the same problem in Debian 12 Bookworm, and I even
upgraded to unstable Trixie in hopes that a new KDE version will solve it. But
it didn't.

The issue itself looked very much like a "wind-down" problem: maybe some
components are shut down, while others are still working. 
Searching along these lines I found this:
"https://discuss.kde.org/t/weird-crashes-when-logging-out/5927";
Which linked to 
"https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/3302";


There the author found that SystemD was restarting some of the components that
Kwin was shutting down, hence the issue.
Our issue seemed very similar.

Original commit to use systemd for coordinating the shutdown, instead of
killing Kwin, while systemd keeps re-launching some of the killed components:
https://github.com/KDE/plasma-workspace/commit/6ce8f434139f47e6a71bf0b68beae92be8845ce4

The commit that refines the above solution to also handle legacy boot, where
systemd is disabled for some reason by the user.
https://github.com/KDE/plasma-workspace/commit/41629e86035e341bb4dea662236aefdc274e7c30


This is released in Plasma 6, so if you can upgrade, then your problem will be
solved.

Not sure I understand its status in Plasma 5, but I have patched my Debian 12
Bookworm that has plasma-workspace-5.27.5,
and it corrects this shutdown delay issue.


Dear KDE team, can we get these two commits released for the Plasma-workspace 5
series too, as a bugfix?

It concerns the package plasma-workspace, and affects two files only.

It solves this bug report (and many others listed in the commit message), and
would improve the user experience 
for Debian too (for the moment the new unstable Debian Trixie also uses Plasma
5 (with plasma-workspace-5.27.11.1))
