I just finished doing a "dnf upgrade" as a prerequisite step to
upgrading from f-38 to f-39.
There were no hints of any problems. The kernel and the graphics driver
were replaced during this "dnf upgrade".
The akmods did finish before I rebooted.
The shutdown took 5 minutes because it ran akmods (a second time?!).

The process running akmods might have finished, but you should not reboot unless it actually created a module. I use a shell alias I call "kerncheck", which does the below. You might want to see what this shows you:
ls -ltr /lib/modules/*/extra;echo;ls -ltr /lib/modules;echo;echo -n "Currently booted to: ";uname -r;echo
If there is no module showing for the new kernel then it clearly can not load. You then look at the error logs. I don't have Nvidia currently and can't remember where you find those logs.
