The output in Xorg.0.log shows that Xorg is using
	/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so
rather than nvidia-modeset.  Probably not optimal.

I use xorg.conf and modesetting_drv.so is not in my Xorg.0.log.  So
using xorg.conf may be the best approach.

[removed Xorg.0.log]

In the boot output this appears:

nvidia-modeset: Loading NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX
platforms 470.63.01 Tue Aug 3 20:24:32 UTC 2021

so it appears that nvidia-modeset was loaded.

From the boot output:

The first one is on pci3 and the second one is on pci5.

This indicates that the console is on vgapci1, which is on pci5.

vgapci0 never requested pci_enable_io.  Whether that causes a problem
later when Xorg starts is unclear to me.
