For safety's sake I would recommend having Fractional Scaling disabled before you log in, or logging in again after disabling it. Because it's common in gnome-shell for some settings to only be fully actioned on startup.

That's fine, Ubuntu does not use "mutter". We only use "libmutter" so it's a common point of confusion. The source package name for both is "mutter".

It's vv4 that has no fractional scaling, and vv5 reintroduced fractional scaling leaving only the "zero Hz" fix in vv5.
The 3 unused monitors turning on is a side-effect of the "zero Hz" fix working. I can't tell if it's a bug or a feature right now. If it is a bug then it might be a bug in the Settings app or in mutter.
Separately, the fact that the client goes blank on Workspaces but not in a VM might be a bug in Workspaces itself or a bug in the DCV client. Although I want to treat these remaining issues as separate it seems pretty clear that avoiding turning on the unused virtual monitors should solve them all...
