Michael, We had a possibly related bug report yesterday, https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799533.
As for restarting your Mac, heavens no. It’s not running Windows, restarting isn’t likely to do anything useful. What would be useful is figuring out how the account entries got removed, in particular if it was operator error or something GnuCash did on its own. Your Time Machine backups of ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/saved-reports-2.8 might help narrow down when the change happened and you could correlate that—or not—with what books you changed around then.
