Well, I think I found out what was happening.
In gnome-tweaks I had somehow gotten 'Workspaces' -> 'Display Handling'
set to 'Workspaces on primary display only'.
So what happened was that there was only a single workspace on the
"second" head and thus no need for "always on visible workspace".
I'm going to close this as 'Invalid'.

Title:
window menu does not include 'always on visible workspace'
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I filed bug 1795410 a few weeks ago complaining that the 'alt space'
didn't bring up the window menu. That is now fixed (seemingly likely
with mutter 3.3.0-6).
However, the window menu that does come up does not have an entry for
'Always on visible workspace' as it used to.
You can still create a custom shortcut in the gnome-control-center to
toggle this, but that is not as useful or discoverable as in the
window menu.
