that Intel + Nvidia encounters the same issue.

However both of these would indicate that in the case of Nvidia cards
that Wayland actually works, but X11 still needs configuration, unlike
the Framework 16's AMD + AMD situation where X11 needs configuration
and Wayland doesn't work.

Given the log complaint about:
VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support.

My assumption is that this is what we're missing in order for it to
work:
https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/vgaarbiter.html
https://www.x.org/wiki/VgaArbiter/

For nvidia on laptops specifically, if it's an Optimus setup, the arbiter is irrelevant. A "proper" Optimus setup has the nvidia card completely headless, where some other mechanism copies the rendered output to the internal/integrated GPU framebuffer which has physical outputs.
