I'd vote against this and vote for:
- only *.desktop files

The reason:
in the long term, we're going to add support for systemd user-sessions.
This will bring a huge cleanup effort for a lot of Plasma Workspace
components which currently spawn subprocesses/modules, where one of the
final goals is to have every singly spawned subprocess to be a transient
systemd user-session unit.

When using *.desktop files, this would be far easier to handle as they
can be translated relatively straightforward into a transient unit,
while doing it "all in ksmserver" would just mean, that we'd have to
revert this at a later point again to implement transient units.
