This seems strange: libksysguard already was available with version 5.24.4 in impish (> 5.22) is available as 5.25.4 in the KDE git repos and seems to be actively receiving commits there with a recently tagged 5.24.90 version. Incidentally 5.25.4 is what arch/manjaro/
Apart from that the actual issue is that there are plasma widgets that *need* some ksysguard support, among which "System Load Viewer" is probably the most popular. Apart from the fact that widgets using ksystemstats cannot replace it yet, the major issue is that if you have that installed then without any ksysguard support the 20.04 -> 22.04 upgrade is KO. Plasma crashes on login start with widgets expecting ksysguard support and not finding them.
This is not happening in any of the above mentioned arch/majaro/
So, I think it is perfectly OK to retire the ksysguard front end, but the backend support should IMHO be retained as long as there are widgets or application software relying on it. Widgets are particularly critical because of how they are implemented in plasma. If they miss something the whole plasma crashes which is a real showstopper.
