Plasma shadows inconsistent

If you modify shadow Size and Strength in "Window Decorations" then it will be applied to Qt and GTK apps, but App launcher, Tray widgets, Calendar, Widgets Adder, Desktop and Panels contextual menus, Notifications all of them don't follow the same settings. See attached image for more info.

Right, those shadows are only for app windows. Theme shadows come from the theme itself. This is done precisely so that it's possible for your theme to have different shadows from your app windows. This might seem kinda weird, but it's something that apparently some people like. *shrugs*

This is really bad design choice, shadows should be unified accross all Plasma desktop including app windows.
