A temporary PITA workaround is to either use your 'Personal' contact list/address book or create a temporary contact list/address book.

1 - log into contacts.google.com, go to old contacts
2 - export your google contacts to a .vcf file
3 - Open Evolution, import that vcf file inot the 'Personal' or temporary contact list
4 - In Evolution, Edit -> Preferences -> contacts and change the autocompletion to be from the 'Personal' or temporary contact list/address book 

Then, manually repeat/resync as often as needed.

Don't the maintainers of Evolution use the product? bugs like this are
unacceptable since google announced the deprecation of the non OAuth
authentication nearly 3 years ago.
