I know but how much can you tell from these files? I thought maybe I can try something myself if you tell me what to look for. But here are fresh grabs, I am grateful for what you find.
This is with Pike R. Alphas SSDT and HWP Enable in Clover.
I then tried the HWPEnable method from this thread: https://tonymacx86.com/threads/skylake-hwp-enable.214915/ , which removes Pikes ssdtPRG.aml from ACPI/Patched/ and you enter a custom value in Clover/CPU as well. That rendered a new config obviously, where X86PlatformPlugin is missing in IOReg. Instead there's ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin under CPU0/AppleACPICPU, and AppleIntelInfo.kext is displaying 2500 mhz (differs from 3100 mhz) and more P-states at the bottom of the output.
1) Cold boot
2) Try sleep by closing lid. Sleep works. Open lid again.
3) Attach iPhone as USB WiFi. I *think* this has broken sleep before. USB WiFi loads, web loads (it's working).
4) Disconnect iPhone.
5) Try sleep by closing lid. Sleep works. Open lid again.
6) Try sleep by closing lid (again). Sleep works. Open lid again.
7) Attach iPhone as USB WiFi again. Then disconnect.
8) Try sleep by closing lid. Sleep works. This makes me believe, the iPhone is not causing problems. Open lid again.
9) Attach USB 3.0 thumb drive. Copy a small file from drive to desktop. Unmount, disconnect.
10) Try sleep by closing lid. Sleep works. While lid is closed, attach USB 3.0 HDD.
11) Open lid. Unmount, disconnect.
12) Try sleep by closing lid. Sleep works. Open lid again.
13) Try sleep by closing lid (again). Sleep works. Open lid again. 14) Shut Down. Shut Down does not work (reboots).
solving reboot bug by choosing manual Reboot instead of Shut down, and then Shut Down. Restarting:
1) Cold boot
2) Shut down. Shut down works.
3) Cold boot
4) Attaching USB 3.0 HDD. Copying file from drive to desktop. Unmount, disconnect.
5) Shut down. Shut down works.
6) Cold boot
7) Attaching USB 3.0 thumb drive. Unmount, disconnect.
8) Shut down. Shut down works
Here I start to narrow things down:
9) Cold boot
10) Sleep by closing lid. Sleep works. While lid is closed, attach USB 3.0 thumbdrive on right side
11) Open lid. USB 3.0 thumbdrive does not appear. Disconnect. Reconnect. Drive appears. Unmount. Disconnect.
12) Close lid. Sleep works. 13). Shut down. Shut down does not work (reboots)
14) Trying sleep after reboot bug booted me again. Sleep works.
15) Shutting down after sleep. It works.
restarting. Want to make sure it was not iPhone WiFi that broke Shut Down during first session.
1) Cold boot
2) Attach iPhone as USB WiFi. Disconnect
3) Shut down. Shut down works.
More. Want to make sure that as long as devices are connected while computer is awake, shut down does not break.
1) Cold boot.
2) Attach iPhone USB WiFi to right port.
3) Attach USB 3.0 thumb drive to left port. Unmount, Disconnect.
4) Attach USB 3.0 HDD to left port. Unmount, disconnect.
5) Disconnect iPhone
6) Shut down. Shut down works.
Last try. Will attach device while computer is awake, but leave it connected and attempt sleep. Then open and try shut down.
1) Cold boot
2) Attach USB 3.0 thumbdrive while awake.
3) With device connected, attempt sleep. Sleep works. Open lid
4) Unmount, disconnect device
5) Shut down. Shut down works
This leaves one more try. Reproducing the result that broke sleep: attaching while sleeping.
1) Cold boot.
2) Close lid. Sleep works. While lid is closed, attach USB 3.0 thumbdrive on left side.
3) Open lid. Drive appears. Unmount, disconnect.
4) Shut down. Shut down works
I tried attaching on the left side while sleeping, and this time shut down worked. This forces another try on the right side that I originally tried.
1) Cold boot
2) Close lid. Sleep works. While lid is closed, attach USB 3.0 thumbdrive on right side.
3) This time, I noticed attaching it broke sleep while lid was closed. (I can tell by a small LED light in the panel). I don't know it that happened last time. I waited until sleep resumed, then opened lid.
4) Drive appears. Unmount, disconnect.
5) Shut down. Shut down works
Getting frustrated now. One more try.
1) Cold boot.
2) Close lid. Sleep works.
3) While lid is closed, attach USB 3.0 thumbdrive on right side. This breaks sleep. Open lid at once. Drive cannot be found. Disconnect. Reconnect. Drive appears. Unmount, disconnect.
4) Shut down. Shut down works
... Starting to question my sanity by now. Have I accidentaly been pressing Restart instead of Shut down, which've led me to believe Shut down is broken? Or could it be computer has to sleep after device is used and disconnected, for shut down to break?
1) Cold boot
2) Attach USB 3.0 thumbdrive to right side. Unmount, disconnect
3) Sleep.
4) Attempt Shut down. Shut down works.
Well.. you got me.
This spoiler contains about 50 steps that details how I've tried reproducing what breaks Shut Down. I managed to break it twice, but not being able to reproduce it. I still have no idea what breaks Shut Down, or if I have accidentally been pressing Restart instead of Shut down, but I doubt it.
Edit: I did it. This breaks Shut Down, and sleep as well:
1) Cold boot
2) Attach USB 3.0 HDD and thumb on right and left. Unmount, disconnect. Switch devices to opposite usb ports and connect again. Then Unmount, disconnect.
3) Sleep is now broken. Upon closing lid, computer will reach sleep, then wake up at once.
4) First time, Shut down was broken. The second attempt, the computer shut down accordingly. The thir and fourth attempt as well. I can not get my head around this.

Actually, I think I will use Pike's way. But could you find anything unusual in the log from Pikes AppleIntelInfo, the one from the laptop?
It might be that it's bluetooth that's draining the battery. That will solve itself when I switch the WiFi chip. Even though I could disable WiFi in BIOS, bluetooth on the same card stays enabled. Impossible to disable.
