I've looked at all three disputes, in Rosh Hashana 25a, Bechoros 36a, 
and Berachos 27b, and I could not find any mention of R Shimon.

On the contrary, R Akiva was very senior at the time of these disputes. 
In the mishna in Rosh Hashana he was one of the two who counseled R 
Yehoshua to obey R Gamliel's order, and in Berachos when R Gamliel was 
deposed he was one of only three candidates considered to replace him.

What have Bar Kochva or his wars got to do with any of this?
