Plasma 6.5 taskbar not working

questionbug
Hi all, I'm not familiar with reporting bugs here, so please be patient.
Since switching to Plasma 6.5 on Bazzite with the latest update, I've been confronted to really frustrating issues. The first was the infamous black screen with mouse after login, which seems to be fixed.

Since then, it's the taskbar which behaves erratically : my app launcher randomly cease to show the menu, either by clicking it or with the Super key.
The button indicator lits up, but no menu. I've tried resetting my Plasma configuration to defaults, either by using the gui or with the terminal, using :
mv ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc.old rm -rf ~/.cache/plasma* rm -rf ~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache
which seems to temporarily fix the issue, until it randomly (or apparently so), reappears.
Same thing by switching to another app launcher plasmoid, and by recreating another taskbar.
Logging out and back also temporarily fixes the issue, but only for a short time.

I'm using a Wayland session, with latest Nvidia drivers provided.

I don't want to rollback to a previous release yet, and I've found no information about other people affected by this.
Am I missing something ? Is there something else I could try ?
I've submitted a bug report on Github, with the same text.
Thanks for the support, Bazzite's been a blast so far, but these issues lately are quite frustrating.
