This has something to do with using DisplayPort monitors (through the two DisplayPort connectors on the laptop dock). When the laptop is undocked and a single external monitor connected to the HDMI port on the laptop itself, nouveau works fine. Dock the laptop and suddenly it can't boot any more.

To recap:
linux 4.13 + nouveau + 2 DisplayPort monitors = works fine
linux 4.15 + nouveau + 2 DisplayPort monitors = unbootable
linux 4.15 + proprietary driver + 2 DisplayPort monitors = works fine
linux 4.15 + nouveau + 1 HDMI monitor = works fine
