So you upgrade the driver and libaries and suddenly your system fails
until you reboot?  Okay, I could imaging NVidia doing something like
tying libraries to kernel modules.  At least in the past they replaced
gl libraries that did not longer work with X forwarding.

Could you please name the culprit, or is this just a theoretical
problem?

However what if the new driver does not build with the old kernel?

There are endless possibilities to break this.  Which ones are important
and can be supported?
