I will deploy a laptop with debian 11 and kde + sddm shortly, so I can 
check myself instead of referring to an issue in the past.

Disappearing internet or just disappearing network is not strange on 
laptop, I can disconnect the lan without reconnecting to wifi or put it 
in airplane mode, all without re-login. I can put the laptop to sleep 
and wake it up with a different network environment (e.g. because I 
moved to another location while it was a sleep).

In my opinion all of these scenarios should just work.
