No, you don't.

That's weird. *At least* it should tell you that it started and
compiled the available rules. OK, let's try to see the problem outside
systemd. First, stop polkit with:

systemctl stop polkit.service

and immediately after start it from the command line directly:

/usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --replace

the "immediately" thing is because polkit is dbus started, so it can
be started by systemd if anything asks for its service. Then in
another terminal stop gdm:

systemctl stop gdm.service

and start it from the command line:

/usr/bin/gdm --no-daemon &> gdm.log

Since you still have the Enable=true in the [debug] section of its
config, it will spew quite a lot of info, hence the redirection to a
log file. I'm more interested in polkit's output when you try to log
in, could you send that? By default polkit doesn't log almost
anything, and I'm pretty sure the problem is with polkit refusing gdm
to log you (or create a console for you, or something like that).
Having an empty log is also weird; mine says:
