It is a burden to test such issues. A bunch of virtual machines helps,
but it is necessary to start from clean user profiles each time.

I do not see "Other" in
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html but it
caused appearance of the new section (even with localized name) in KDE,
so it works fine.

In kubuntu kubuntu-desktop meta-package recommends desktop-file-utils.
Anyway with your changes the page is more helpfil than it was before.
In a minimal container xdg-open fallback functions are able to find
.desktop file without updating of MIME types cache. Sometimes I just add
x-scheme-handler/org-protocol=org-protocol.desktop
to
[Default Applications]
or
[Added Associations]
section in ~/.config/mimeapps.list to make firefox aware of it.
Unfortunately shipped emacsclient.desktop is not suitable to just
recommend to adjust the mimeapps.list file.

It seems that your approach is more productive. I tried to get more
experience (e.g. I know that an attempt to select the emacsclient
executable file in firefox as a custom handler leads to a silent failure
when the browser is installed as a snap package that is new default in
Ubuntu) so I believed that I am not ready yet to update the recipes.
