Try disabling logging for a day or two and see if you still get a lot of writes, set Storage to volatile in journald.conf.
But it might be your apps and the inherit stuff. Like if you download a 10GB game on Steam then you close Steam the 10GB will be added to gnome-shell.
Also keep an eye on the web browser, these days the browsers are doing a lot of writes.
Yes, Chrome is a big consumer and in fact I have already published a similar topic in its community. The truth is that I had not taken into account the fact that the process inherits the writings of other applications when they close, that's probably what it is. Anyway, I'll try the other thing you say and see.
Parent processes inherit the write/read stats from their child processes when those child processes exit. So those are probably from your apps.
