...the last time I installed updates like this Dolphin GUI was messed up and to fix I had to install dolphinpart4 from AUR. But since then plugins such as "root actions" won't work.

Has anyone else with KDE 4 already installed these packaged? What changes/breaks?

Re: Will pending updates break KDE 4?

If you already have installed the 5.13 version of those packages nothing of any significance is going to change apart from you running an unsupported partial configuration of a system. dolphinpart4 is available from the  official repos and will not be affected by this either way. The thread you linked to as THE answer doesn't apply globally everything still works here
