as noted in the Debian bug, gdm needs pulseaudio for the accessibility
screen reader etc. So it won't be suitable to just disable pulseaudio
completely. I suppose there needs to be some way to transition the
bluetooth connection to the user after login.

Can you file this bug upstream on the GNOME bug tracker?

Title:
  pulseaudio bluetooth bug

  Triaged
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gdm3 package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  I switched from Xfce using Lightdm to Gnome-Shell using gdm3 I noticed my bluetooth headset stopped working
  after couple hours of google searching I found out its because there was or is 2 copies of pulseaudio running
  one copy was running as my normal logged in user the other was gdm3
  when I took steps to prevent gdm3 from starting a copy of pulseaudio by chmod'ing the pulseaudio binary to only allow my normal user my bluetooth headset started working again I was able to connect it and become the audio sink
