Further investigation reveals that there are actually TWO dock backgrounds- one for dash-to-dock that is the correct size, and another for the default Ubuntu Dock whose contents are hidden, but for whatever reason the default Ubuntu Dock Background is not being hidden.
This looks to be responsible for both issues.
1.Open Terminal and run
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock transparency-mode 'FIXED'
2.Reboot or re-login.
this works for me.
The above solution does not work- no change.
It's works fine for me 🤷♂️

are you using the preinstalled ubuntu dock, or did you installed the extension? The dashtodock version in ubuntu does not have settings (at least not easily available)
Dash to dock extension from ubuntu software centre. And i removed default one from ubuntu

It looks like some old configuration is leaking

I installed dash-to-dock via extensions.gnome.org. Gnome Tweaks Tool as well as dconf makes dash-to-dock settings available.
It looks like dash-to-dock isn't properly replacing/removing/etc (or whatever you do to default) the default dock. I was able to
cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
sudo mv ubuntu-dock@ubuntu.com ubuntu-dock@ubuntu.com.bak
and then Alt-F2 'r'
to manually fix it.
I believe that the default dock on ubuntu is not really intended to be removed, so it must be done carefully
Toggling the 'Show on all monitors' corrected this issue for me. I'm not sure why
Toggling the 'Show on all monitors' does not fix the issue and sometimes resizes icons on toggle/reboot.
Execution of gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock transparency-mode 'FIXED'
did make the dock transparent but I'd rather use Dynamic/Adaptive than a fixed transparency.
The ubuntu-dock package is removed from my system (Because of a different bug not related with dash-to-dock with it often appearing on lock screen) didn't change the state of the issue.
What I think is weird though is that with ubuntu-dock it at least the color was sync with the panel's color but this doesn't seem to happen with dash-to-dock enabled as an extension regardless of ubuntu-dock being installed and enabled or not.
FWIW, I experience the same issues, none of the "tricks" in here worked. I am using "Ubuntu on Wayland", but also tried with regular Ubuntu and no change.
After upgrading to 18.10, dash-to-dock started behaving incredibly strangely. This behavior persisted through reinstalling dash-to-dock, restarts, and messing with settings.
The first issue is that 'dock reduction' does not work- you can see that example here. It completely ignores dock reduction in favor or choosing a arbitrary- and honestly rather ugly- width that has no correspondence to the number or size of icons in the dock.
The second issue involves intelligent hiding- when the dock pops back up over a window, it arbitrarily changes its own background to 100% opaque black in defiance of its own settings, as seen here.
Any advice, logs I can give, settings I missed?
