As can be read here, Ubuntu drop Unity as the default desktop environment in
18.04 and that is true, but anyway you can install Unity 7  as easy as:

sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop

Also Unity as a desktop did not die and the develop was split in to variants:

1- The Unity 7 (base on Gtk) See this project (with more than 23 developers)at:

https://launchpad.net/~unity7maintainers

And is also hosted by Ubuntu as a third-party project at:

https://community.ubuntu.com/c/desktop/ubuntu-unity-dev

2- The  Unity 8 (base on Qt) See this project at:

https://ubports.com/

They are now separate projects with different maintainers, but both continues
the usage of the Global Menu at it was.

More over, i don't need to speak about the vala-panel-appmenu  project, because
is already in discussion heree.

It's just to add that also in Ubuntu 18.04 we can easy add an extension and
continues the usage of the global menu in the default Ubuntu session, because
it also supported in GNOME Shell desktop using extensions, please see:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1250/gnome-global-application-menu/

Please note, that this extension is currently discontinued, but anyone can
continued it if he want. Last produced version is here:

https://github.com/jiqing112/Gnome-Global-AppMenu

Finally i need to say that instead of the original suggestion, DBus Menu export
is more used than ever. So, I fully recommend that do not remove it and instead
improve it as much as possible, because it now used by more peoples in more
desktops. It's then now universal instead of  specific to Ubuntu.
