Hi,
I don't think that would be necessary, I have this "bug" even with my old pc (which has a nvidia).
here the log of my Gentoo beginning of the month at boot :

....
After rebuild of the kernel setting nouveau as hard build and not a module :
Jan 18 03:47:27 localhost kernel: [ 0.767736] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: NVIDIA GP107 (137000a1)

Jan 18 03:47:27 localhost kernel: [ 1.529723] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM: TMDS table version 2.0...
Except the failed firmware (I don't want blob into my kernel), the boot log is alright. This can't really be done on tails since the config shall be more generic to work on most of the device. Maybe seeking the help of the nouveau dev about this issue is the way to go
