SUMMARY I have a 768p notebook display. When I use kate the global menu is taking to much space (besides using a minimal size panel). It would be great to have a option to reduce the spacing between the elements and/or to reduce the font size.

This would make the widget more friendly on different sized screens, like the smaller SteamDeck display, for sure. It would also improve accessibility for people needing larger text.
A user-facing option isn't necessarily the correct approach here. And also, is there even a problem at all? To be honest, I don't see it. Nothing is cut off, nothing is missing, and there's adequate whitespace to separate items. And this is even with a fairly worst-case scenario situation, with a huge menubar, a crowded panel, and a small screen. Can you clarify what exactly the problem is?

On my setup just adding a few windows and workspaces (which I add via a dynamic workspaces kwin script) is enough to make the task-manager widget scale it's icon relatively small. It's not a huge problem and my setup is somehow niche. I've already removed some shortcuts in my panel to reduce the problem. But I understand that the feature would be more of a nice-to-have then a must-have one.
