Thanks. Those crash reports are from 1-2 years ago so don't look relevant.

journal.txt seems to show the problem. The system ran out of memory at Aug 18 10:08:14 but gnome-shell kept running. It was then told to shut down cleanly by systemd and you can see the clean shutdown a few seconds later at Aug 18 10:08:20.

So I think this is a systemd feature. It notices something was killed due to low memory, other processes then struggle to respond to queries due to low memory, and then the entire session gets shut down cleanly. There is no crash here, and no gnome-shell bug that I can see.
