So disruptive that I haven't tried KDE since.

Articles like this one might encourage me to give it another go. Is there a distribution that's considered the 'best' for a KDE environment or will any do?

KDE now has its own Linux distribution called KDE Linux!

I don't know if there is a "best" but I've been using OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 with KDE on my work, personal, and family machines for the last year or so. Even my non-technical (but technologically capable) spouse has been using and enjoying it over that time on their personal laptop.

For me the best KDE software integration is in openSUSE, also love their YaST graphical control center and BTRFS filesystem snappshoting integration with the package manager and the control center. Second best distro for me is Fedora KDE.

Whatever you do, don't use anything debian or ubuntu-derived, they have tons of bugs that aren't upstream. CachyOS and Fedora KDE are great options.

Use a rolling release so you get the latest KDE and not whatever Debian froze two years ago.

My choice has been Kubuntu. With all vestiges of snapd removed.
