Yep, was coming here to say KDE5 is still valid.

PIM is still being actively worked on:

Quote:
"KAddressBook

Volker also worked on preparing the KContacts library, a vCard standard
implementation, to be moved to KDE Frameworks alongside KCalCore. You can read
about this on his blog as well.
Improvements

As part of his code cleanup, Volker has removed the DataMatrix from contact
display, so we only display the QR code now (Volker Krause, KDE Applications
19.08), and did massive clean up of the contact display code. When displaying
contact address on a map, KAddressBook now defaults to OpenStreetMaps (Volker
Krause, KDE Applications 19.08).

Thanks to Laurent Montel it is now also possible to send SMS messages from
KAddressBook through KDE Connect (KDE Applications 19.08).
Bugfixes

    Fixed dialing contact’s phone-number from KAddressBook through KDE Connect
(Volker Krause, D20353)"
