I think this is a good change overall, especially for high DPI screens running at non-integer scaling. I think I personally prefer the older icons as I always run at 100% scaling on my displays and I prefer the “crisp” look of the 1px lines, but I think this is a necessary change to align Plasma with modern display trends.

On my Thinkpad 2in1, the behavior your desire is what I get. I’m on Fedora KDE (Kinoite) which pre-installs Maliit by default though, I’m not sure if it comes with some additional configuration.
