You lost me a bit there. rpm-ostree being buggy does seem like a
reason not to upgrade, but I'm not sure what that has to do with third
party repos.
If you install RPMFusion repos on Fedora 31(probably 30 too), rpm-ostree
won't let you upgrade since it is unable to increment the RPMFusion repo
version.

Every pre-existing third-party Nvidia GPU overclocking utility.
