Further segfaults issues are flooding the issues tab, and don't seem related to this specific bug:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12275 (Segfault on Nvidia Quadro)
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12283 (Segfault with Gnome-Shell on Intel Integrated Graphics)

With this many segfaults on all available GPU vendors, I would begin to doubt this is a problem limited to Polaris architecture (Though it's probably a multi-bug release due to fundamental ABI changes). 
I would say it may be safer to just revert for now, and wait for `Mesa` to cook-up a little their next update. As I said before, they're working on the OpenGL 4.6 API, and thus they're bound to have lots of regressions before stabilizing. Besides, I don't think anyone specifically requesting those OpenGL 4.6 API changes expects them to be finalized already.
