With some languages and scripts being white space sensitive it would be nice if Kate had the ability to toggle white space markings, like LibreOffice. Trailing spaces can occasionally mess up some scripts and some programming languages can be sensitive to extra spaces. These are hard to find. Reproducible: Always Wishlist item for Future consideration.
Could you please check Configure > Appearance > Whitespace Highlighting and clarify which options you miss?
Side issue: those are virtually invisible in the default scheme, but can be seen better if a different scheme is selected. Still missing is embedded white space indicators, (duplicate spaces) Further, a Toggle is preferable to digging into settings.
