At the moment, only the NSS version of curl supports PKCS#11 card certificate based client authentication.

Maybe, but I don't think it's the only option that can be made to handle them.

AFAIK most cross OS browsers use NSS. At least Chrome and Opera link to it.

Chrome (and thus all the ones built on Chromium) switched to using BoringSSL many years ago. Firefox is the last major browser that uses NSS and probably the last major application over all. Assuming we still consider Firefox major.

NSS is harder than ever to find documentation for

Uh. Have to somewhat agree here. Although they seem to have gotten
their documentation rework somewhat done

This is of course highly subjective but their docs were always abysmal, so when we can't even find that, the situation is pretty dire.

NSS was always "best" used with Red Hat Linux when they provided
additionalfeatures on top

Not sure what these features are

The ability to load a CA bundle from file is the primary one I thought of.
