According to this kwin commit, it was merged to the blur effect, but I can’t find any way (outside of source modification) to disable the contrast part of it.
Arch Linux with KDE Plasma 6.5.0
+1. I’m hoping for a solution too, updating to 6.5.0 messed up my nice menu and taskbar, and there’s no background contrast option anymore.
There is no way; the effects were merged and the “background contrast” component was integrated. We reasoned that it doesn’t really make sense t turn off if it results in worse readability.
There are some reports that the blur effect looks uglier now. This is tracked in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510818; we’re investigating.

What happened to KDE being all for customisation? It feels like KDE nowadays is really anti-choice and anti-user, which just goes entirely against the ethos of the desktop. Just because something may technically function better based on your tests doesn’t mean you should force it on everybody with no way to opt out. As a KDE supporter myself it’s quite sad to see it heading this way.
