I tried running Thunar with gvfs disabled using:

env DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS= /usr/bin/thunar

in the terminal as both root and non-root user. It worked only for root user.
With a non-root user there was a "thunar-CRITICAL" error: "Name
'org.xfce.FileManager' lost on the message dbus, exitting.".

With regards to DEVICES section in the Shortcuts Side Pane in the root Thunar
there was no change - the redundant/confusing devices entries were shown as
described in initial report. Thus, probably root Thunar really does not use
gvfs as you suggested - I may try to check the source code when I have some
more time (as I am not really that familiar with Thunar source to know where to
look for gvfs usage).

A problem with the "hidden-devices" option is that it can be used to hide just
the specified unwanted devices unless I am missing something. Thus, one must
create a specific configuration on each system. However, I could probably
create a script to include the specific unwanted device IDs into a "thunar.xml"
file template that will have the general configuration for all my systems with
some placeholders for specific unwanted device IDs. So thanks for making me
think about using the "hidden-devices" option again:).
