This update, among other things, adds support for VK_EXT_descriptor_heap, which should bring significant performance boost to Nvidia cards, once it's properly implemented.

Have you tried moving to a newer kernel? It should be working with Nvidia latest and KDE latest (Mine is solid on CachyOS) so it could be a kernel bug for you. No real downside to installing a newer one; but depending on your setup there could be a few regressions that might force you back to stable.

    So there are no real downsides except for potentially that it won't work and will waste a whole bunch of time and you'll have to revert.

    Yep. No downsides.

    That's literally how any update on a computer ever will work. Real downsides worth mentioning would be like "you'll be unbootable, you can't rollback, it'll update a bunch of other packages, it might delete user home". Having to select an old entry in your grub config at boot because the new kernel doesn't play nice with any number of custom peripherals or packages on your system is not what I would consider a serious downside and you'd have to do it if Kubuntu decided to roll a kernel update anyway. Do you uh, use linux?
