Actually, not an upgrade but a downgrade seems to have solved my problem.
I have replaced the firmware file /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin with
firmware-6.bin_WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00065-QCARMSWP-1
(which is what Ubuntu 17.10 might have had)
and I have not had a single outage after a whole day. Before the change, the outages were very frequent.

So, it seems that the newer firmware files does not play nicely with my WiFi.

Hopefully, this could help to rectify the problem on Ubuntu 18.04 with the new driver versions. Please let me know if I can provide further information to help for the diagnosis.
