It's not clear why akmod-nvidia fails for you but I've already done #2
for two of my systems (first one couldn't drive a new 4k TV; second one
was becoming flaky and was using legacy nVidia drivers that stopped
working for newer kernels).
I think you can just do:
dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia akmod-nvidia
If you were using legacy drivers, you'll have to add "-340xx" or
"-390xx", whichever version you were using.
I use the open source AMD drivers (but I don't use VAAPI):
dnf install xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu
There's no need to uninstall the nouveau drivers.
