No, I assumed any support in nouveau is years away. I don't know what
the other pure FOSS solution is? But anyway, not what I'm looking for.

Because it doesn't solve any problem since it has no newer Nvidia
drivers. If it did they'd likely be in buster-backports too. Also,
Bullseye is insecure with no security updates until it's actually
released. You may be fine with that but I'm not.
