What about a system with multiple GPUs?
Hybrid graphics?
Headless systems?

If the probe sequence fails then the user is stuck with a frozen
screen and can only really recover via SSH or by rebooting and
applying nomodeset to the kernel command line.
This is particularly problematic as newer GPUs are introduced because
distributions may take some time to land newer GPU firmware.
So when probe fails, re-create the system framebuffer so that the
user at least has basic graphics support.
