Hi, and thank you all for the great replies!
So I added the following line to fstab:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
and it works, just as you said it would. No second /dev/shm popping up or other
stuff I had assumed.
(I'm not sure if it now takes a second longer for the GNOME login screen to
appear after boot, but I didn't find any errors in logs and things seem to
work.)

I'll keep these in mind if I run into problems later on.
