I believe that this is the same issue that causes crashes for me in some
situations where a Wayland surface is committed without a window
geometry.

The upstream bug https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1739
includes a backtrace of the crash on the "gnome-3-36" branch. So this
issue will not be fixed with the 3.36.9 release.

Upstream has no interest in maintaining 3.36 anymore (see comments)
because there are not enough volunteers. For long-term maintenance of
GNOME 3.36, it would maybe make sense if someone from the
Ubuntu/Canonical team would step up to backport fixes into the
"gnome-3-36" branch (or a fork) and do further releases.

Alternatively, you could also release newer GNOME Shell versions with
the LTS point releases. I think Red Hat used to do this with RHEL7.
