Another possible workaround is to run a single application rather than
an entire KDE5 session.  Some KDE5 applications run fine over x2go, or
with relatively minor glitches (such as slow repainting, or icons being
replaced with text labels).  Depending on your use cases, you may be
able to live with these issues.

Konsole in KDE5 is too slow for me over x2go, but most other terminal
emulators work fine.  I have x2go set to run xfce4-terminal, and from
there I remotely launch whatever KDE and non-KDE applications I need.

Regards,
Tristan
