I may have found a workaround.
The position and stuff for the widgets seem to be stored in
~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

And the simple workaround is to make a backup of this configuration file
and in case of messed widgets, just restore that backup!

I think I īll map this as a command to a keyboard shortcut, Plasma5
messes too often....
