In my case, I have an old GTX 460 card in this workforce and I can attest that in kernel 4.18.X, nouveau is unusable for me and matter of fact, the 4.18.X serie of kernels are unuseable so I reverted back to one of the long-terms, that is 4.14.78 which work fine under the proprietary drivers. I haven't tested with nouveau under 4.14.78 but I'll see if I can test soon.
