For the newer GPUs nvidia's open kernel modules have created less hair pulling for me and are much more comparable to amdgpu than the traditional modules. Recently I was reading Nouveau is working on re-clocking support on newer GPUs via GSP support which is just starting to be upstreamed, that'll be even nicer if it materializes.

can the open kernel modules do CUDA? I read somewhere that they couldn't, but that could be out of date now and would be a game changer for me

It's good that there's at least some way to load the whole scmorgasboard of proprietary drivers/firmware now that doesnt constantly break, but this is still so far from great.
Nvidia picks & chooses what to implement. If they deign do work at all. And actually open-source Nouveau is wonderful, but wow, they have like 1/20th the chip-maker resources to read-from/work-with & 1/20th the developer headcount of Intel or AMD open-source driver development. Phoronix is posting RADV stories every other week with cutting edge industry folk making this or that innovation, & Noveau shows up like quarterly maybe.

The dearth of Nouveau interest is largely to do with the last 4 generations of cards being limited to the power saving clock speed. The new method of using the GSP in the open driver will remove that limitation and allow work done on Nouveau to actually be usable again.
