As you say, the firmware was loaded (thank goodness for my 'firmware loaded' patch):

  nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Firmware loaded: nvidia/tu117/gsp/gsp-535.113.01.bin

I, of course, forgot that the driver and firmware are in the initial ramdisk!

So, would you mind repeating the experiment but after confirming the sym-link is broken, as a last step
before booting into this kernel doing:

  $ sudo update-initramfs -u -v -k 6.15.6

Capture and share the kernel log as before and report whether the 3rd output (monitor) was activated.

And of course, to undo this deliberate break, after reinstating the firmware file regenerating the initrd again:

  $ sudo update-initramfs -u -v -k 6.15.6
