Finally I made a total new installation with Mojave and with Imac pro system def.
I made a mix of these :

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ojave-successful-build-extended-guide.255082/
It was very painful and I got a lot of problems to fix but now it's working great… for the moment (3 weeks only).
I don't know if problem was fixed by Mojave or by the Imac pro def.
I guess Logic works better with Imac pro def…
I can't remember what I took in each tutorial.
I just remember I made the USB Mojave installer by following the usual guide and I took the KGP EFI folder from the imac-pro tutorial. Many thanks to KGP by the way…
Sorry if I do not have a better "scientific" explanation. I'm just happy to be out of this nightmare.

I was able to fix it also by using the iMac 18,3 on Mojave

@nicktumi,
There are no official Nvidia drivers for Mojave and not likely to be for a while ...
Even if you brute force load the Nvidia Driver in Mojave, MacOS will not have accelerated UI as there is no Metal 2 support.
Try disabling your Nvidia Card using rehabmans software method and switch to using the IGPU for MacOS (use Lilu + WhatEverGreen to configure) it should run Logic just fine as Logic is not GPU heavy.
Cheers
Jay

Did you ever solve this issue? I have a very similar setup and get good Geekbench. But Logic is barely using 3.0ghz on the CPU's (7940X) and logic is at 100% on all threads. Im on High Sierra and using an Nvidia 1080ti - so cannot upgrade OS. All other apps work fine. Just logic does not want to tap into the available power.

Look at my post #12, MBI.
My problem was solved with Imac Pro def + Mojave.
I really have no real explanation but, more than one year later, Logic still works great and use all my overclocked 7900X until 5GHz.
I'm under Catalina now.
If Logic and making music is what you do the most, maybe you should try another video (AMD Radeon i.e.) and leave High Sierra. I really hate high Sierra...
