Ok, the problem with 2.18 is a bit different. It is limited to concurrent use of two QGIS 
instances, and only occurs for some gpkgs:

1. Run QGIS 2.18, go to the Browser and expand a directory containing a gpkg.
2. Run another QGIS instance and load any layer from that gpkg.
3. The loop begins: the wal and shm files are repeatedly created and removed from the 
disk, and the expanded branch is being refreshed.

Your fixes of course didn't help this particular case. I don't observe it in QGIS 3, so I'm 
leaving it as it was. Furthermore, I didn't manage to reproduce it with every gpkg.

Regards,
Borys
