It looks like this is the issue:
vendor/magento/module-theme/view/frontend/templates/html/topmenu.phtml
<?php $columnsLimit = $block->getColumnsLimit() ?: 0; ?>

I fixed it manually by setting this block argument:
<arguments> <argument name="columns_limit" xsi:type="string">1</argument> </arguments>

Don't know how to fix it because this function never get's called:
Magento\Catalog\Helper\Category->getStoreCategories() which has the check for the 'catalog/navigation/max_depth' setting.
