If the LibreOffice crashes mentioned in bug #1761554 have been fixed, we should indeed revisit this issue. Is that something you have confirmed yourself? If so, adding back the fix which prevents the variable from being set on Wayland would be motivated.
I think that the latest upstream im-config version (40-1) would take care of this bug. OTOH, the delta between im-config 38-1 and 40-1 is not trivial, and since we are late in the cycle, I feel it would be safer to wait with that upgrade until after the release of Ubuntu 19.04.
As regards X11, g-s-d - unlike im-config - does not set GTK_IM_MODULE at all, but the variable has been set for many cycles on Ubuntu including the flavors.
