plymouth-start.service probably should still use a different KillMode considering that systemd complains about the service at startup and since the message says that KillMode=none is deprecated and will eventually be removed.
Well, as already noted, the point of this KillMode value is that plymouthd wants to survive the switch root step. If this doesn't work, the splash image will go away for a few seconds and the screen will show some text messages, which (I assume) will confuse and/or annoy plymouthd's target audience.
I am unsure if recent versions of systemd make this possible by some means other than "KillMode=none". Martin
