I suggest you install as it is a significantly better work-around than constantly killing the daemon. It is intended to be released in the next Debian (bookworm) release as a package, I do not know if Ubuntu will also be including it in their next release. Whether Nautilus will use it or not, I could not answer to that - I have long since switched to using Thunar without any issues.

With regards to "If restarting it 'fixers' it, then why on earth does it break in the first place?" I suggest you see one of the replies here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/307 and further reading here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/506
