The introduction of Bernadette is my "bright line" between old and new, between classic TBBT and some type of detour. Is there plenty of good stuff after that? Sure. But to me it's a different canon. It's not part of my mental concept of the show.
Her introduction is not a shark-jump in and of itself, but it marks the beginning of Act Two, so to speak. If she (and Amy) had turned out to be temporary characters like Priya, the show probably could have recalibrated in S4 and been just fine, although it would still be a misstep; one that they (the show) would need to recover from.
My J.T.S. moments are all associated with Howard and/or Raj, so you can probably guess what they are. Raj fantasizing about H's death is pretty low.
