 Not a big surprise to me :(
 When I had a RHEL Workstation, when I upgraded from 7 to 8
(or 8-9?), KDE was broken during that upgrade and Fluxbox
started to have issues too.
 Seems RHEL wants you to use GNOME or nothing.  On Fluxbox
some applications and almost all proprietary applications I
had to use at work would fail unless you are running GNOME 3.
Same with KDE, but pieces of KDE would also fail.
 At the time, I did a search and seems Red Hat is doing all
it can to prevent the use of KDE on RHEL.  Maybe that
philosophy moved to CentOS.
 Sad to say, may be time to move to another distro.
 

I hardly use it, just need 1 installation for software testing.
Anyway, I figured out remove poppler, so update can proceed. Then to get Plasma back, install xorg-x11-apps then plasma-desktop. Cannot do the group install KDE Plasma Workspaces, because it wants insight-client.
And that is part of Ass Hat Enterprise Linux. Eh?
I installed XFCE as well, as Gnome shits me.
