Most of this looks fine but I'm concerned about this upstream changelog item:

 sharing: Replace vino with gnome-remote-desktop for X11 sessions

It looks like that was done because of a problem with Wayland only. Changing behaviour for X11 that isn't for the purpose of fixing a bug is something we would normally avoid in a stable release. Will this change functionality from a user perspective? Is it appropriate to be making this change in an LTS?

Yes, that's the part of the changelog
