Not as bad perhaps as some of your experiences, because I'm using nvidia GPU for M/L on a remote server and not for desktop display.
After update the nvidia driver is not loaded. Tried rebooting a couple of times since sometimes akmod seems to need this.
Manually loading the driver modprobe nvidia I get an error message that there is no driver in /lib/modules,...
Finally I manually run depmod -a
Then reboot again. Now nvidia driver is loaded and nvidia-smi reports success.
My question is: Why did I need to manually run depmod -a?

This is a know issue: you rebooted slightly too early, during the %post of the kmod-nvidia-KERNEL rpm that does this depmod.

The system-upgrade does the reboot and the user has no way to delay it. It is, as you say, a known issue. Running depmod usually fixes it.
