Anyway, following your suggestion on Reddit, I've simply removed stuff.
Before upgrading, I found that no installed package contained the substring "akonadi" or "game". So after the upgrade, I just ran sudo apt purge *akonadi* *game* which removed 74 packages (171MB) then sudo apt autoremove removed a further 51 packages (111MB). That did seem to work fine, removing nearly all the extraneous packages and not breaking anything that I could find.
Before the upgrade, I had 8.7GB used space, after the upgrade it was 9.6GB, then after purging packages it was 9.0GB. Good enough.
Edit: BTW, answering my other question in the original post, the -f DistUpgradeViewKDE option creates a popup that presents the upgrade as progress bars for each stage.
