Hm, I suspect that the update broke my desktop environment (Plasma
Desktop).

Earlier today I received the 2.54.3+21.10.1ubuntu0.1 update. And when I
rebooted, my Plasma Desktop was broken. Applications that were still
open worked (Firefox, Konsole), but task panel was absent, icons
missing, ...

Note that I am using Fish shell as my default shell. When I use Bash
however, the Plasma Desktop is working fine.

When logging in on TTY with Bash as default shell:
XDG_DATA_DIRS == /usr/share/local:/usr/share:/usr/lib/snapd/desktop
When I log in with Fish:
XDG_DATA_DIRS == /usr/lib/snapd/desktop

That would explain why my desktop got broken.

To reproduce:
* create a new user account "test"
* start Plasma session with user "test", everything looks fine
* execute: chsh -s /usr/bin/fish
* log out
* log in again, things are broken

Workaround: Use Bash as default shell. Configure your terminal emulator
to use Fish.
