Hi again,
After today's update all applications completely disappeared from the

comes to mind...)
Is this plasma-workspace to file a bug against?
It's no bug (for better or worse), you really do need to restart your
session after upgrading plasma from 5.4 to 5.5. KDE upstream
officially/technically does not support upgrading plasma from within an
currently running session (yes, that's not great)
Kickoff changed significantly, so it's functionality will be diminished (or
broken) until plasma is restarted. Unfortuantely, kickoff is also one way
to logout/restart as others have mentioned, and that can stop working in
this case. Good news, that's not the only way to logout/restart, krunner
can do it too:
ALT-F2: logout
ALF-F2: restart
