I want to stay on stable branch for as long as I can, so I found that

Personally, I had to setup apt preferences [1], so that only nvidia driver
packages are installed from "buster-backports" and also their updated
versions once they become available for installation.
This should work fine in the default stable + backports configuration.
Care to provide more details?
Kind regards,

At some point in the past I had to build backports to buster for nvidia
drivers from unstable, because newer versions were not yet available in
buster-backports.
The whole build and install procedure was a bit messy, because I need
both AMD64 and i386 packages and updating nvidia drivers later from
buster-backports using Synaptic wasn't straight forward either.
So now, after I setup apt preferences, I can see if updated nvidia
drivers are available in buster-backports via Synaptic and I also can
see and update nvidia-cuda-toolkit in same manner.
