On Arch and Ubuntu 16.04 I'm using SpaceFM, resp. most of the times no
file manager at all. On Arch Linux I migrated from the SpaceFM GTK2 to
the GTK3 version. I prefer the terminal, usually roxterm over a file
manager. Roxterm is available by a package for 16.04, but not for 18.04,
grrrrrr. It was temporarily not maintained by upstream, due to GTK
annoyances.

I consider to do a release upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 of my openbox
Ubuntu install and after that to install 
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/lubuntu-desktop.

That xcb multi-threaded client crab is no issue at all for my Ubuntu
16.04 install, but a PITA for my Arch Linux install. Since I never used
pcmanfm, it's Claws that suffers from this issue on my Arch install.

I'm not a coder. I was mainly an Assembly coder decades ago for
non-Linux machines. I suspect that I will be less helpful, than you hope
I could be.
