I was unable to reproduce a crash following your steps on Xorg. I tried 15 applications launched across 15 workspaces and gnome-shell could be restarted without issues.

What does happen: With just one workspace enabled, several applications can be started and gnome-shell can be restarted with 'Alt F2 > r and enter' without issue. With multiple workspaces enabled, several applications can be started and gnome-shell can be restarted with 'Alt F2 > r and enter' provided all applications are started on the first workspace. With multiple workspaces enabled, if several applications are started on different workspaces then gnome-shell will crash if restarted with 'Alt F2 > r and enter'. My last application was started on workspace 4.
