Sharing in case helps others avoid having trouble.
Update worked fine - once update completed fresh reboot - gdm starts fine - can login - but after that get a blank desktop - nothing at all works.
Will go over logs more carefully but looks like gnome-shell is crashing:
Process 1181 (gnome-shell) of user xxxx dumped core.
The logs are tricky, as gnome spits a slew of error messages at the best of times (this is not new to 43, for me anyway).
All 3 machines are intel i915 based; 2 NUCs and an older laptop.
I've downgraded to 42 and all works well again.
FYI :)

I noticed that mutter in the logs is version 42 - my mirror is out of date it looks like - this seems like a possible candidate for the crash?
I'll wait till the mirror updates and try again - will report back.

Mirror looks fully sync'ed so tried again - first machine tested now works fine - so indeed was out of sync mirror problem.
will work on other machines next.
sorry for noise.
