change KDE screen locker
How can I change whatever program KDE5 uses for screen
locking to slock? AFAICS there is no such option in the
system settings.

There is no built-in way in KDE5. You'll have to disable the KDE screen locker, then manually run something to trigger slock. The method is similar to my answer here, but I'll summarise below.
You can use something like xss-lock to automatically trigger the screensaver. You can start this automatically on login, by creating the following file at ~/.config/autostart/xss-lock.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=xss-lock -- /path/to/slock &
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=slock_trigger
To change the timeout value, use
$ xset s TIME_IN_SECONDS TIME_IN_SECONDS
replacing TIME_IN_SECONDS with the number of seconds of idleness before you want it to activate. I don't entirely understand why you need to enter it twice, but that's what worked for me.
