just one last thing, possibly you are not aware that 19.04 Ubuntu wayland sessions have exactly the same problem: no external monitors. While this bug refers to Xorg, the problem is not limited to Xorg. At least on my Optimus laptop. And when I use its multiplexor to go into pure Nvidia mode, no monitors work, not even the laptop panel.
