Is there any specific shutdown procedure required?

I want to move it; so can I just switch it off, move it, then switch it back on - and it will all just spring back into life?

Or does it have to be decommissioned, & then recommissioned?

Specifically, the Gateway in the ST P-NUCLEO-LRWAN2 pack

At TTN side you do not have to decommission it. Actually for EUI based gateways, do not ever delete it if you (or someone else) want to be able to use it with TTN at a future date.
