I don't think the "simpledrm" reason listed in 2035189 holds up. Unless you're in a virtual machine, SimpleDRM is only used for the few seconds of initrd, or for the duration of the disk unlock prompt. Even if old Nvidia drivers can't support SimpleDRM, they can support legacy framebuffers which we are continuing to ship in initrd. So old Nvidia drivers should remain usable, even if low res, during boot.

Also the unresolved Jammy task at the top of this page would not still say Confirmed if it was decided to never be fixed.
