My concern is basically the usual "Nvidia hates Linux".

Also:

Nvidia GPUs are currently in beta with major caveats

I run Bazzite on a 3070 and it works well. The thing that is not supported yet is the gaming mode that basically turns your pc into steam deck mode as far as I understand it. It would be cool since I run my pc on TV only and mainly game with a controller. What I do is run Steam on startup and set it to start in big screen mode. Until a few weeks ago I used Linux mint and that was much more work with drivers for controllers and stuff. Bazzite is so good so far, seems to be exaxcly my use case for a TV Linux gaming pc.

That's just Bazzite, CachyOS doesn't have a similar clause.
