I use a layout where there isn't a title bar once a window is maximized and I need to press the maximize button so I can move the window without touching the keyboard. There is a widget that has a similar functionality but it snaps the cursor to the middle of the window which makes it harder to drag to the other screen to be maximized there.
Have you reported the issue with the widget to its developer? If that issue were fixed, would you happy using the widget itself?

If we talk about the built-in panel spacer, then I don't know how/where to report for it. If we talk about the other widget, I tried to ask the dev if he can fix it seems that it's an issue with plasma. https://github.com/luisbocanegra/plasma-panel-spacer-extended/issues/59
I would say let's focus on the 3rd-party widget since it aspires to make this use case work, and is simply affected by an issue in KWin. Let's focus on that. Luis (CC'd), is this reported to KWin?

There is already a bug report for this made for Latte Dock https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464173 It is also important to note that my widget just calls KWin shortcuts via D-Bus under the hood, while Latte IIRC calls underlying windowing stuff with C++. Maybe this could be solved by a method that snaps the cursor to the nearest edge? Given that the gesture could be initiated from any edge depending on where the user has the panel, that assumes panels on other screens being also on the same edge but maybe that's fine. There is also a feature request to make this a panel built-in feature https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433072
