Ok... Testing complete.

SDDM comes up, as expected. Login works as expected.
xrandr --output DP-5 --mode 2560x1440 --rate 75.0 --rotate normal --primary
xrandr --output DP-3 --off
# xrandr --output DP-1 --off
Here's the breakage. In SDDM, DP-5 comes up as defined in the xrandr command, and DP-3 dutifully turns itself off. DP-1 remains on, and available. When I log in, however, DP-1 does not turn back on, and for whatever reason, kscree2 decided to put DP-1's desktop on DP-3, which does come on and adjust accordingly, DP-1 stays off.
xrandr --output DP-5 --mode 2560x1440 --rate 75.0 --rotate normal --primary
xrandr --output DP-3 --off
xrandr --output DP-1 --off
This one breaks even worse, with neither DP-1 nor DP-3 turning back on when I log in, and DP-5 having issues with rendering any windows on top of it all.
I even tried using xrandr to configure DP-1 and DP-3 as they would be configured in kscreen2, but that causes the same issues as option 2.

Why/when does it turn off?? Or did you expect but not see DP-3 to turn off?
Move the files in ~/.local/share/kscreen/ away.

What kind of "issues" specifically?

Please post the actual xrandr commands, the output and the resulting "xrandr -q"
Can you mitigate any of the in-session problems by restarting the compositor (turning it off and on again…)
