Problem seems to be fixed now. Not sure at what point it stopped being broken but the problem is no longer exhibited on Ubuntu 20.04.3 on a 5.11.0-41-generic kernel with Nouveau xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.16-1 with Gnome 1:3.30+2 and GDM3 3.36.3-0ubuntu.20.04.4 using X11 not wayland.

Getting some odd crashes. If a single monitor is plugged and the workstation is power on you can then log in and plug a second monitor in and locking the screen DOES not crash X/Wayland/nouveau. If you boot the system with both monitors plugged in then logging in and locking the computer will cause X/Wayland/Nouveau to crash and only a reboot will fix it. You can still ssh into the box though. The monitors are connected via DisplayPort. There were no kernel backtraces in the journal when running this bug report. But in other cases there has been nouveau backtraces.
