I would rather worry that it is more difficult to be notified about events
(you would need to mess with FAM, dnotify or something like this).

Which functionality could a daemon provide beside X11 configuration (that
could be done inside X11 as well)?

I would prefer a library instead of another daemon running in background. Then
KDE could embed it as a kded module that uses standard C calls for
communication instead of a stand-alone process which communicates using
another RPC protocol. It would be important that the library can be
integrated into event loops though.
