I had this issue too, after a lot or reading and testing I added the
following kernel options:
video=efifb:on nvidia_drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1 ibt=off
This gave me back the console when switching with VT.
nVidia made some changes to the driver, which given this issue to quite
many people who uses the console.
