Is the log with nvidia-470 (470.141.3) or nvidia (515.76)?

If it is with nvidia-470, and if for nvidia 515.76 the
/usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/NVIDIA/amd64/libglx.so is loaded
instead, then that would explain why they need glxserver_nvidia.

As a quick test you could try to remove
/usr/X11/lib/modules/extensions/NVIDIA/amd64/libglx.so and see what
happens.  If it solves the problem we could remove it from package.
