For KDE development I would recommend the KDE Neon developer edition as it has all the tools you need to get started.

I'm out of the loop, but I used to use Slackware -- largely because the distro didn't get mad when I just installed things from source directly onto the filesystem. No dependency tracking ;)
But I had a lot of experience before that with other distros.
Good choices are probable OpenSuse (tumbleweed), Arch, or Neon. Actually, I don't know the current state of Neon... is that still a thing?
I just installed Neon on my PC a couple months ago and it's my daily driver. Yep, it's still a thing. 😁
I'm on Arch and very happy with the experience
Any distro that allows you to patch and rebuild KDE packages quickly will be good. Personally, I really like Arch for this purpose because working off of PKGBUILDS just rock.
