Yakuake is already reported: 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462762

"Windows can cover" seems to be still quite buggy at Wayland in general.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-10-23 18:21:28 UTC 
I'm afraid the "Windows Can Cover" Panel visibility mode has been removed for Plasma 6 and we aren't planning to bring it back. In its place, we plan to implement an "intelligent auto-hide" or "dodge windows" mode, per Bug 349785. This should hopefully be much better than "Windows Can Cover" ever was, and offer support for its use cases.

Thanks for your understanding!
