4) What happens: many applications (nautilus, gedit, etc) take ~30 sec to open. When starting those via the command line, after after those 30 secs the app opens with the following printed to the terminal:
"Error creating proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gtk.
3) What you expected to happen: applications to open without delay

Additional info:

Unfortunately, the huge timeout significantly affects usability of the computer, as one has to wait a lot to perform many tasks (opening nautilus, gedit); one has to wait also before login screen appears after a reboot.

I can confirm this bug on my system as well. Upgraded from 18.04LTS to 20.04LTS. I have the same lsb_release -d and apt-cache policy gvfs output as well.
I worked around this issue by creating a symlink in /usr/lib/ x86_64- linux-gnu from libusbmuxd.so.6.0.0 to libusbmuxd.so.4 I don't know if this breaks anything, but this does seem to alleviate the slow launch of certain Gnome apps that seem to rely on gvfs, along with my slow login time that I was experiencing. Nautilus, gedit, file dialogs, screenshot, etc., that took ~20-30 seconds to load now load instantly, and I do not get org.gtk. vfs.AfcVolumeMo nitor timeout errors I was seeing either.
