different text and icon colors in panel and window title/tool bar

It would be great to have an option for each panel/dock to include the new accent color feature as well, displaying black or white text and icons in line with the titlebars and toolbars.
This would eliminate the "inconsistency" in the screenshot attached.

Panels already respect the accent color if the Plasma theme allows it. If the Plasma theme doesn't, then it won't. The bug in your screenshot is caused by using a Plasma theme with hardcoded colors.

I chose a different plasma theme just to have more transparency in my panels.
I've just tested the Breeze plasma theme; it is the same.
And the customized glassy plasma theme I use consts of only those files in addition to a metadata.desktop file containing no color values except ContrastEffect, BlurBehindEffect, and AdaptiveTransparency:
