Huawei update to EMUI 9 broke everything
I had to rollback to EMUI 8.0.  This was easier than expected through the HiSuite Huawei app for PC.  Click on update/upgrade, then other versions.  It should show you the last version and then click restore.

I then ran GMS installer, and Google-installer-v2 and I'm back in business!  I am still getting "Google Play Services won't run unless you update Google Play Services" occasionally but everything works.
