Are there any other issues associated with this...e.g. white smoke from tailpipe, waterfall sounds in the cabin, coolant overflow doing weird things...?

Are of the above are potential issues, but it won't necessarily show all the signs. Waterfall noises behind the dash is from air in the cooling system, white smoke is from coolant in the combustion chamber, overflow bubbling over is from over pressurizing the cooling system due to compression leaking from the cylinder in to the cooling system (in the case of a blown head gasket). Another common symptom is a miss especially on cold start if there's enough coolant making it in to the cylinder. It all depends on how bad it's blown and where.

Take your plugs out pressure test the coolant system and check for coolant to leak in your cylinders. Simple quick test.
