I have used nomodeset for so long I don't recall which driver I've been expecting to use.
My reason(s) for using nomodeset started several years ago... I think it was because of the turmoil related to driver updates. My main reason for using it now is that the font used by console output REALLY small and I have a hard time reading it.

I have tried using the ask boot parameter but it's a somewhat unwieldy
interface to use and get the desired results.

It's using the generic modesetting driver. What graphics card do you have?
His log suggests to me Optimus:
…
[ 140.813] (II) modeset(0): using drv /dev/dri/card1
[ 140.813] (II) modeset(G0): using drv /dev/dri/card0
…
[ 142.401] (II) modeset(0): [DRI2] DRI driver: crocus
…
[ 142.464] (II) modeset(G0): [DRI2] DRI driver: nouveau
…
IIRC, Crocus started with Haswell, ended with Skylake, so around 8-10 years old.
Ah, I missed those lines. I also missed the earlier line:
[ 141.854] (II) modeset(0): glamor X acceleration enabled on Mesa
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 (SNB GT2)
