No, it's not failsafe. I know a person where only one screen of two got locked, the second one remained operational.

Okay, let's call it an "incomplete failsafe". I don't want to discuss the correct terminology, but the idea itself.

That might be a kde limitation in general. The amount of "fun" I had dealing with two screens on kde is outright endless. Not sure they even test that kind of configuration, 640x480 pixels should be enough for everyone.

I'm using 3 monitors on KDE with Debian currently and it's been fine for me.

All screens lock together etc.

Now imagine they're powered by a docking station, you go into suspend, put the laptop out of the docking station, wake it up and - tadaa! This bug dissappeared but still occurs slightly diffrent for other people. Three monitors itself aren't more edgecase than 2. How long are you using this setup?

Besides screenlockers, having 2 screens with diffrent resolutions is way worse in KDE than in GNOME. (On X11)

I'm sure they're referring to the failsafe.
