I am working on a few fixes to make sure that the nvidia devices are removed before the nvidia modules are loaded (I think this is what is going on in your case), and that booting in intel ("Power Saving") mode doesn't mislead GDM into using PRIME when the NVIDIA GPU is actually disabled (this causes booting or logging into a black screen).

None of this will require blacklisting the nvidia module in the initramfs. We have been there in the past, and it is not needed.

I am going to provide a PPA for Ubuntu 19.10, so that you can test the fixes.
