Currently I suggest an option to check ibus-1.0.pc in configure.ac whether gnome-shell enables ibus or not.
So probably I think the default recommended IMF would be ibus but it can be configured by each distros.
I'm also thinking ibus-gjs provides the same UI with keyboard indicator when ibus-daemon is not running.
