Seems to me that "#include <gtk/gtk.h>" means that gnome-shell does use gtk. Or maybe I am missing some nuance of your statement.

It uses it very little, and specifically doesn't use GTK for theming. Its widgets and the scene graph handling are written using Clutter, not GTK.

GNOME Shell uses its own widget toolkit called ST. GTK+ APIs are pretty good about sebsible names, so you could grep though the source for gtk_ to see which GTK+ functionality is actually used by the shell.
