That device was added to the lvm devices file at some point (see
/etc/lvm/devices/system.devices), but the device no longer exists.
If that device won't be reattached or if you don't want lvm to use it,
then it should be removed from system.devices.

That's the right idea, but two issues,

1. lvmdevices --deldev is missing the ability to remove a missing device
   by name (or by wwid), and that will be fixed.
2. when that's fixed, you'd need to use the name /dev/nvme1n1p4

Until that's fixed, edit system.devices and remove that line.
