Yes and no. Nautilus draws the desktop (including icons) but it remains to be seen where the root cause of this bug is. It might be gnome-shell failing to communicate the work area correctly to nautilus...
As for whether to show desktop icons at all, it should be noted this is a different decision to when we were looking at Unity8. In Unity8/Mir the desktop icons didn't exist simply because supporting desktop windows like nautilus wasn't anywhere near implemented yet. But users did complain even in the limited testing of Unity8, about not being able to use the desktop as a desktop for icons.
