I don't maintain an kmods, but from what I observe in the package commits, they break with each new Fedora kernel release and the maintenance burden is even higher for older nVidia driver versions. You're welcome to help with automation, but I'm afraid hunting for patches or writing them yourself will be a constant manual job in this case.
