Do you know if XFCE (e.g. xfce-power-manager) and KDE (Solid,
powerdevil) are aware of those changes?

Removing the suspend/hibernate functionality most likely means for
them that they either have to rely on systemd or cook up their own
solution. XFCE and KDE are much more hesitant to rely on systemd
afaik, so I'd be interested to know what their plans are.
