Bug #1776887 indicated that Xorg crashes because of a problem in blk-core.c. A patch and a workaround were presented, as well as a test from blktests. It took a long for the patch to reach the kernel, and it was finally included with 4.15.0-31-generic. And here the bug hit a snag because:

1. If the workaround is put in place, the problem doesn't happen
2. Without the workaround, with just the patched kernel, the problem still happens

It seems to indicate that either the patch doesn't actually solve the root problem, and that the workaround doesn't seem to be related to the patch.

In any case, it definitely has nothing to do with systemd.
