Except, of course, that lightdm could not be installed on RHEL8.
(I tried reporting it as a bug, but the report was closed as this
was apparently expected behavior. Go figure.

We'll never know, as I gave up on RHEL8 and reinstalled the system
with RHEL7.  I can now get VGL to work, but I must admit I am not
impressed, so far.  Running glxgears is slow and jerky, it is much
smoother to run it simply with ssh -X.

Running

  vglrun  glxinfo | egrep '(vendor|version) string'

I can see both VirtualGL (1.4) and NVIDIA (390.116) being mentioned, so I
guess both the correct hardware and software is involved somehow.

I use vglconnect -s to the server.  I'll see if I can get better response if
I can get this VNC proxy thingy to work.

Thanks again for your replies.
