I did not realize my problem is potentially shared by other users. Hopefully the next update rolls out soon so I can really tell. I guess if I get really desperate I could try a workaround shown in “Screen resolution is very low after recent zypper dup”:
Though testing to see if I get any problems installing that package led to another ksym issue:
sudo zypper in nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default
[sudo] password for root:
Refreshing service 'NVIDIA'.
Refreshing service 'openSUSE'.

Problem: 1: nothing provides 'ksym(default:dma_fence_default_wait) = 1f5f01' needed by the to be installed nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default-580.95.05_k6.16.8_1-40.1.x86_64
Solution 1: deinstallation of nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default-580.82.07_k6.16.3_1-39.1.x86_64
Solution 2: do not install nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed-kmp-default-580.95.05_k6.17.0_1-1.1.x86_64
Solution 3: break nvidia-driver-G06-kmp-default-580.95.05_k6.16.8_1-40.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
