After upgrade to GNOME Shell 3.34.1 (Manjaro 18.1), there is no indicator for the app in the top bar. It was working in 3.32.

Gnome removed support for tray and appindicators some versions ago. This is not bug, but feature of Gnome -_-

Anyway, I'm guessing you have some extension that restores appindicator support, which got broken in update. That's also feature of Gnome.

Ahhhh. I forgot all of that. You are correct: TopIconsPlus died with the update.

What I don't get is why some applications work without it. For example: Dropbox and Protonmail Bridge.

I'll close this, but please post back if you know?

Sadly, both of those are closed-source, so I can't check what they do, but my guess is that they communicate with some gnome-specific protocol.
