I think we should not forget that there's kwallet (the framework) and
kwallet{manager} (the frontend).
I also think that Kwallet is very much ingrained in a lot of KDE software, so
that rules out (IMO) the option for a drastic change there. I do believe, as
Thomas stated, that we *need* to have a wallet available in the workspace.
That said, some review would be in order in particular with regards to the
encryption used (see the recent breakage that occurred "just" fixing a compiler
warning).
(FYI, I'm using Kwallet with a GPG-based YubiKey, but I agree this is *not* an
acceptable, or easy enough, solution for our userbase),

This is no longer the case, IIRC dfaure has raised the timeout to 45 minutes.

That would mean probably having Plasma providing a sort of "frontend" to the
framework? To be honest, I have no idea if there's any separation of GUI and
wallet layers in the kwallet-framework code.
