Pywal being not optional even though docs say it's optional is the root cause of most of our issues.
Apparently this PR claims to fix the pywal bug.
Looks like we will just have to wait.

Try add environment variable PATH to your cron file.
Run echo $PATH
Update cron file with

0 * * * * env PATH=<your-path> DISPLAY=:0 DESKTOP_SESSION=/usr/share/xsessions/plasma DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus" /usr/bin/dwall -s lakeside

nope, doesn't work.

[Sagyam Thapa]

What's the error message this time?

[Loan J.]

You could try installing pywal with super user.
sudo pip3 install pywal
This solved the issue for me.
