so because KDE decides to boycott Mir, Mir is bad because there is an extra layer involved with displaying data from KDE

seems like a self-fulfilling claim.

If KDE were to support Mir, there would not be any extra overhead when using Mir either.

If Kubuntu switched to Mir, there would be an additional layer because KDE (an upstream project that Kubuntu does not control) does not (and has no plan to) support native Mir and as a result would be running under XMir.

Again, please read the subject line and take some time to consider the context in which statements are made. Your claim was, in context, entirely wrong.

Let me think: no. If some distribution would say they put KDE on top of XWayland, we would tell them the same.
