Okay, no. This is actually a fundamental technical flaw with
RPM-OSTree. In fact, *zero* DKMS or AKMod based packages will work
with RPM-OSTree based systems, and has been known for at least three
years: https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/issues/1091

It has nothing to do with any ideological hatred for NVIDIA. It's just
the RPM-OSTree developers have so far been pushing to force containers
in every little nook and cranny, even when unneeded or unwanted,
instead of solving the problem to support akmods.

You can use regular kmod packages with Fedora Silverblue (rpm-ostree
install kmod-nvidia). You can also use regular Fedora Workstation and
have akmods work perfectly.
