I believe it's incorrect to mark this bug as a duplicate of bug #1700085.
In fact, in bug #1700085, the user puts a lot of effort to get hidpi scaling
and, even if he succeds in that, he is not able to make the cursor scale as
well. So, the cursor doesn't scale at all.
Concerning this bug (which affects me literally in the same way), gnome is
scaling everything automatically, no action is needed and everything looks
beautiful out of the box. The only (small) problem is that, immediately after
login, if you move the cursor over the top or the left bars, its size go back
to the default and it becomes very small. So, while the cursor is on the
desktop the size is scaled properly, as soon as you move on the bars, it goes
back to the default size.
As soon as you click on something that triggers the cursor to switch to the
"wait circle" (for instance, Firefox or any other application), some magic
happens and the cursor size is scaled properly even on the top and left bars.

Title:
Cursor reverts to default size and theme after login, when hovering
over certain parts of the UI
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Dock, dash and top bar do not respect cursor size setting from
"Settings" (gnome-control-center) straight after login.
Occurring in Ubuntu 18.04.1, on two machines.
Expected behaviour: cursor size set to medium (32px) or large (48px?)
should remain consistent between windows, desktop and dock/dash/top
bar.
Observed behaviour: cursor shrinks to default (24px) when hovering
over dock/dash/top bar. If the cursor state changes (e.g. to loading
spin wheel) the cursor fixes itself.
Not sure whether it is a bug in GNOME or the shell extension.
Sizes set using "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size
32" and "gsettings set com.ubuntu.user-interface.desktop cursor-size
32" exhibit the same behaviour.
