I let this run for 3 hours without issue.

I'm now running 6.4.0-rc4 without seeing the problem after 1 hour.

I did however see two unrelated problems that I include here for
completeness:
1. iwlwifi module did not automatically load
2. Xwayland used huge amount of CPU even though was not running any X
programs. Recompiling my wayland compositor without XWayland support
"fixed" this.

Yes nouveau is blacklisted.

Hmm not sure which n for "journalctl -b n" maps to which kernel (is that
what you are requesting?). The commit hash doesn't not seem to be
listed. I may have to boot into a bad kernel again.
