GDM crashes with "Oh no, something has gone wrong" since version 43

I upgraded to Gnome 43 this morning and since then, GDM fails to start. It seems to to be caused by gnome-shell crashing, but I can't find more information.
I have tried to disable Wayland and all my extensions but that didn't fix the issue.

Here is a very small portion of the log. The whole thing can be found here
