I was able to get this disabled via drush by doing:

drush config-delete field.field.gdpr_task.gdpr_remove.removal_log
drush config-delete field.storage.gdpr_task.removal_log
drush pmu gdpr_tasks

There's a hidden dependency on Drupal 8.5, because gdpr_tasks depends on a version of the 'entity' module that only works on Drupal 8.5, which is why we needed to disable this.

The dependencies have now been defined in the info.yml files, so incompatible modules should no longer be installable.

As for "can't be uninstalled due to xy field", for now, you can use drush or the UI to remove the problematic fields.

Not being able to remove fields that use plugin-defined field types is the expected Drupal behavior, so in this issue we should probably provide a list of the depending fields and blocking uninstall until they are removed by hand (similarly to "there's data for this module, remove it before uninstalling"; see: drupal issue 2688945).
