Honestly I think KDE would be a better choice for the future. Wayland is here to stay and I think KDE will seat itself on wayland completely within two years, whereas XFCE may sideline itself on Xwayland over that very issue. I don't care how long Xorg hangs on, maybe forever, and if it develops further great, but application developers are more and more going to choose to develop pure wayland applications as we move into the future. That's where things really stand despite opinions otherwise. Wayland is just better and lighter with modern video codecs and OS security. Chromebook OS already uses wayland with sommelier. LibreOffice has run on wayland for quite some time now and Firefox now builds for pure wayland when available even though some parts still require Xwayland.
What KDE would offer to LL aesthetically is an interface that could be customized to be even more familiar to Windows 10 refugees. I remain of the opinion that LL is still the best starter Linux DE for people newly coming from Windows and I always still install it for newcomers interested in Linux. Some things in the KDE GUI are natively more like the Windows GUI than XFCE will ever be. I also believe, given the LL base is Ubuntu, KDE would offer better DE stability for the near future. It may well be time for change.
