I tried even more of manual installing, for example I gave a try installing aurorae windows decorations alone, and transparency never works. Turns out, transparency might be totally broken with Wayland on KDE / Plasma 6, at least there are many issues searchable on this topic and even AIs seem to have learned from somewhere that "In Plasma 6 on Wayland, transparency effects may not work as expected due to various bugs and issues, especially with certain themes and drivers. Users have reported that transparency works better in X11, and some have found that specific settings or themes can help achieve the desired effect."
Damn, turns out it's Blur effect strength that is killing transparency. Found a suggestion to turn it way down and now I actually see transparency working in window decorations. I never noticed it's even possible to configure blur further in desktop effects. Thought it's just an on/off flag.
