To reproduce download large file, or scp large file, or listen to a web stream for a a few minutes.

Eg,

wget -O /dev/null http://speedtest.wdc01.softlayer.com/downloads/test500.zip

Wifi drops out and delays shutdown. A reboot brings it back up.

Possibly related.

Will using a usb wireless adaptor be a workaround?

Added an USB wifi adaptor to the Pi. Connected to a network via sudo nmtui and disabled onboard wifi and bluetooth with:

dtoverlay=disable-wifi
dtoverlay=disable-bt

in /boot/config.txt.

The Pi has been stable for the last hour under load which would have previously caused it to drop off multiple times.
