Though I suppose that plasma 5 has some nice GPU acceleration that 3.5 doesn't have, which could actually make it run better and more battery efficiently, even on old hardware
I agree with the first part, though. I think my first Linux desktop was using KDE 3.

Right now I'm using Compal HEL80 with Intel Core T2400 ~1,8 Ghz, with 300 GB HDD, 1,5 GB of RAM(!), 2GB Dynamic Swap and Q4OS, where Trinity is a main DE.
In bare OS I've managed to get ~210 MB(!) RAM used, while with all apps installed but not running, RAM usage jumped to the 780 MB.
Of course, with FireFox 61 and some windows apps via wine, I'm frequently bogged by lack of RAM; 1,48 GB is used, 200-150 MB are free, swap - around 25-50% used.
And while swap is in use, the computer is literally unusuable. So, I would recommend to get at least (in my opinion) 3 GB for quite smooth ride.

Old good times, I remember when I used Mandriva Xtreme (2007?) with KDE3.X.
It looked like this and had cool effects, eg burning minimized windows
