When did that get out of support,

and do you refer to updating via official packages
Definitely!
or by building from source yourself?
Though fondly remembering 022, KSR35, and vacuum tube CPUs, I'm not
masochistic.
I've kept my main linux beater on KUbuntu 14.0.5LTS or whatever the official latest version is, but I've used PPAs to update a bunch of packages and use a build/package system based on MacPorts to install a lot of stuff the same way I install it on Mac. I stopped updating my KF5 packages a while back, am now at Kate 19.08.3, could undoubtedly go newer if I wanted.
Anyway, I'm not seeing the plugin you mention either. So either it's part of a newer Kate release, or it's an external plugin. In the former case you might be able to backport it.
Thank you and I hope it's standard when using a current Debian ;)
I just discovered I had done the required housekeeping required to
_prepare_ to update one of my "spare" machines.
