Turns out after a fresh reboot the memory usage isn't much different
after I close all apps and VmData for gnome shell is only about 400MB.
So, perhaps this isn't the smoking gun I thought it was.

I don't know what I was thinking... This bug is clearly declared fixed
in 18.04 already:
gjs (1.52.1-1ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium
* Add fix-crashes-lp1763878-revert-575f1e2e077.patch to fix shutdown
crashes (LP: #1763878)
* Add some patches to solve large memory leaks (LP: #1672297)
This bug is fixed in Ubuntu 18.10, but beware 18.10 also brings a new
separate leak: bug 1800165.
This bug is not yet fixed in Ubuntu 18.04 because the fix for this one
also causes a performance regression in 18.10 that we don't want to
repeat in 18.04:
