Gnome shell has some serious issues with lagging and any menu applet that is integrated into the shell is going to be slow to the point of being unusable. For example the lestcape's global menu applet is slow to open, slows down the activities preview, and freezes the shell and/or application interface while the menu is being drawn and may cause the entire shell to hang. This is inherent in Gnome 3 so there is no way around these problems.

It will also fail to work on certain applications, meaning that you end up with menu bars in different places, resulting in lots of inconsistency.

I therefore recommend releasing a simple searchable menu that doesn't attempt to draw any menus in the panel. Will you consider just releasing a cross-platform HUD that depends on rofi and nothing more? Simpler to develop and much simpler to maintain.

Edit: can't you just run vala panel + hud on top of gnome shell? You'd just have to place it on top of gnome panel.
