I have some time to revisit this as I didn't get much further with the
installations last time.

I did a complete re-install of RHEL 7.5 following the instructions from
http://ezequielm.com/blog/rhelcentos-7-3-bumblebee-setup/

I also installed primus. I'm now getting the following errors in my
Xorg.log when I attempt to launch gnome/kde

Failed to load module "nouveau"
Failed to load module "fbdev"
Failed to load module "vesa"

Any ideas what I'm missing?
