Another correction. For the one workaround, switching to discrete
graphics in the BIOS only seemed to get past the initial gnome login.
But resuming from DPMS off/suspend, the same error loop happens even
when hybrid graphics is disabled in the BIOS.
Even worse, seems hardware acceleration ends up being disabled:
$ journalctl --no-hostname -b -p warning _COMM=gnome-shell

The "EGL failed to allocate resources" error stops happening probably
because gnome-shell isn't even using hardware acceleration now.
I've also disabled all gnome shell extensions to avoid noise/errors in
the logs and will try weed out the problem better.
I checked `grep -C2 -E '(EE)|(WW)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log` and things seem
fine:

Note, I've done no customisation to X config - trying to stick to
defaults.
xrandr confirms only one provider / hybrid is indeed off and Intel not
in use:
$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x218 cap: 0x1, Source Output crtcs: 4 outputs: 6 associated
providers: 0 name:NVIDIA-0
I'm guessing the Lenovo P53 impliments a mux/switch to connect the
laptop panel to the NVidia card so that Intel is disabled in this mode.
And double checking, also no i915 modules are loaded:
$ lsmod | grep '^drm'
drm_kms_helper 180224 1 nvidia_drm
drm 491520 10 drm_kms_helper,nvidia_drm
So there seems to be, on current Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS (fully up to date as
of today), a 4K / UHD 60Hz issue with Nvidia, as seen in X log
[ 45.228] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 440.59 Thu Jan 30 01:05:38 UTC
2020
Lastly, I think due to `needs_root_rights=yes` in
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config, X logs to /var/log/Xorg.0.log again instead of
the X without root which used to log at ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log
