It seems every time xorg is updated it clobbers my Nvidia driver

Of course it clobbers it; it's a blob. The only fix is to reinstall
the latest nvidia driver each time you update Xorg.

No.  Just recreate the necessary symlink.

The real solution, though, is to get nvidia to free up their blob, but
nvidia has stated on repeated occasions that it won't do so. Maybe the
nouveau project will be usable one of these days.
