No wait, I've bethought me, actually. Partly brought on by issues with nvidia/wayland that weren't immediately obvious - nouveau is actually working better for me, if noticeably a bit more sluggish.
Regarding your comment:
"I think that GNOME Shell 3.25.90 doesn't really support HiDPI for X, just for Wayland. That may be a regression, but Hi-DPI support in GNOME Shell has been redesigned to prepare to support fractional scaling in Wayland in a future release and it may be a lot more complicated for all that to work well on X too."
Yes, it is a regression, because it was working for *non* fractional scaling factors, and should reasonably be expected to go on doing so, even if it's fed from a different setting. (ie: it's now ignoring org.gnome.
At the moment, in the gnome control center 3.25, I'm seeing only these scaling options on my desktop: 100%, 200%, 300%; and on my laptop only 100%, 200%. So we don't currently have fractional scaling right now anyway, though presumably they're expected to appear at some point. But it's rational to expect these non-fractional scaling factors to *go on working* in xorg, and perhaps for only those scaling factors to be offered via the user interface when in xorg.
And it so nearly does already. As previously described right now it's only gnome-shell itself, and non-GTK apps, that are not being scaled in xorg now, where they were before.
