To the surprise of no one, gnome-shell in GNOME 50 has started failing to make it past login for some users, likely because at least something or other depended on the legacy X support in the DE.
Source: currently trying to fix my system after the upgrade. gnome-shell coredumps on login. Next thing to try is backing up my config and fully resetting dconf.

Update: it was apparently because they added an 'xwayland-scaling-factor' key to the gsettings schema that my system did not compile in and was erroring out when I tried to set. (Full backtrace with debug symbols told me the error causing the core dump was failure to find the key in gsettings for that setting.) I had to set the envidonment variable GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR="/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas" in /etc/environment to get it to pick up the new schema. No idea where it was getting schemas from before since the internet says that's the default location for schemas.
