I've done this before to use i3 in KDE (although have since moved to just running i3 on its own). You can set the KDEWM environment variable to replace kwin with something else; described here https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Using_Other_Window_Managers_with_Plasma/en https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Using_Other_Window_Manage... I would guess that it will take some configuration of awesome similar to how they configure i3, to make plasma behave properly under a tiling wm, though. Maybe you could base that off the i3 config they provide in that tutorial.
