I recently upgraded from 17.04 Gnome to 17.10.1 and I'm wondering if I still need the individual -gnome packages as well as the standard ones now that Ubuntu is using Gnome anyway, for example, if I do sudo apt list network*

You can see in the results network-manager and network-manager-gnome I'm wondering if I still need the -gnome one or if I can uninstall it?
I was going to try removing it anyway to see what happened but Apt threatened to remove ubuntu-desktop...

In your specific example, the network-manager package provides the system service, and network-manager-gnome provides the panel applet/indicator, and connection editing application.
You may still need it to edit VPN or Wireless configurations, for example, though I don't think the applet is used with gnome-shell.
