KAJ says neither 3 p'sukkim nor Kaddish after Hir Hakavod! see below!
but rather that kaddish is said because there are p'sukim.
See below re: Al Tirah!

AISI the trigger is at least 3 p'esukkim [or maybe a complete kappitel!]
Illustrations:
1. Shir Hakavod has 3 2 lecha's and Mi Ymeallel
2. Aelinu has TWO at the end
3. BUT al tira has 3!
Is this a co-incidence that these 3 come after aleinu
Or
is it by design to trigger a kaddish!
Nevertheless, Syrian Sephardim and Frankfort do NOT say kaddish after Aleinu
- yet Rema requires it anyway.
FWIW Many if not most Amreican Shuls say NO kaddish after shir hakavod and
go to shir shel yom and say Kaddish THEN [viz. at the end of Musaph]. KAJ
says shir hakavod w/o any kaddish afterwords [and afaik no 3 pesukkim
either!]
And FWIW on Shabbos KAJ [and iirc Nusach Sepharad] say Shir shel Yom after
shacharis w/ a Kaddish yehei shelama afterwards
Clarification: I am NOT saying Ch'vSh that is is WRONG to say Kaddish after
aleinu! I have done it hundreds if not thousands of times myself! Rather
- what I AM saying is to me - based upon a consistent structure - the Syrian
model makes BETTER sense logically. I.E. kappitel, Kaddish THEN Aleinu for
each of the 3 Tefillos.
