I think if you use the akmod packages from rpmfusion, they will build
the driver module at boot if it isn't there. I run a radeon, so I am
not familiar with this. When I used to run nvidia, I couldn't use the
rawhide kernels because rpmfusion hadn't created the necessary files
(or maybe it was nvidia) because the kernels were development kernels.
It might be possible to use the binary blob right from nvidia, but you
would have to take care of all updating outside the package system.

I prevent kernel updates so that my locally compiled kernel is always
the default; the stock kernels don't have my patch in them. The -x
option to dnf works, dnf -x kernel\* update.

Edit the spec file, and turn off all the debug options; flip them from
1 to 0. These are just below the
%define buildid .20191008
that you should be setting so your kernel is identified as a custom
version.
e.g.
# kernel-debug
%define with_debug %{?_without_debug: 0} %{?!_without_debug: 0}
