I don't know even how it should work, so I guess I don't need it.
I've got the given resolution set in Guest (FullHD) and then it is
scaled accordingly and properly to the given Guest window size in
Host.
So what does "Resize to VM" mean in that case?
Rafał, I agree that setting the guest VM to full screen is great at
times, but I most of my time, I run my VMs in Windows at a smaller
resolution than my main screeen.
I often use multiple VMs running at one time. As I use a large screen
I like running each VM in a separate Window at a lower resolution than
my main screen. Hence "Resize to VM" is great as it quickly sets the
VM's Window to the resolution that I had set in the VM.

"Resize to VM Resizes the display on the full screen to the size and resolution configured for the virtual machine."
From my XFCE host, I tested Debian 12 GNOME, Debian 12 KDE, Debian 12
XFCE, LDME.
Only Debian 12 GNOME and Debian 12 XFCE would Resize to VM.
Debian 12 KDE would not, and it did not matter if I was using X11 or
Wayland, so maybe something to do with QT ?
Note: Debian 12 GNOME

Yes, it works on GNOME-Wayland. You still need to install
spice-vdagent,
but no config edit is needed.
But that's not a solution for me - I don't like GNOME
+1
There are many reasons why I don't use GNOME.
One reason is that I read it was designed with the premise that users
only do one task at a time, hence use one program in full screen at a
time. I normally use several programs at a time, and switching between
them in GNOME is very ineffective. I prefer to have several Windows
all visible at the same time. I also like these windowed programs set
to specific sizes, causing some to be partly overlapped, hence a
Tiling Windows Manager is not for me either.
I have found GNOME to be a bit clumsy for using multiple windows
programs.
Below you said you use your VM in Full Screen. I wonder why? Would you
use each of your programs full screen too? Maybe GNOME would work
better for you than it does for me?
I have a personal interest in GUI's, usability, and how people differ
in their use computer interfaces.
(Unity/Classic/Flashback/Metacity... whatever...).
I like KDE Plasma.
+1 (and I also like XFCE, simple, fast, effective)
>> Maybe these issue are limitations with Wayland
I don't think so - I've found a solution based on clipboard-sync
(separate software, unfortunately not in Debian repo).

features work under Wayland and KDE's compositor?
Yes, it looks like so.
