On my personal experience, since Plasma 5.6 and Qt 5.5.1 I didn't have any multi-screen trouble.

Other than the issue of not having different backgrounds (and widgets) on each virtual desktop, I haven't had many issues with Plasma 5.7 either. The transition from KDE 4 to KDE Plasma 5, Frameworks 5, and Qt 5 has been difficult at times--but it's been considerably less painful than moving from KDE 3 to KDE 4.

In fact, I briefly turned this desktop machine I'm typing on into a "Hackintosh", and while the machine worked well, I just hated Mac OS X. I switched it back to Linux/KDE a couple of months later. My switch to Apple also was due to wanting to edit videos, so I purchased Final Cut Pro--meanwhile, Kdenlive made some improvements, and is good enough for my needs (and of course, it's getting better).

Which proves that you never forget to unplug your external monitor /before/ you suspend and that you never forget to plug in your external monito only /after/ your system has completed resuming. Otherwise you need to manually kill the kscreen backend.
