boot log of failure

Description of problem:
When booting, after GRUB I am met with a black screen where typically I would be shown a graphic prompting for the password for my LUKS-encrypted hard drive.
When I reboot my PC, I am seeing this prompt however on cold starts I am not. I can blindly type in my password and after successfully entering it, I see the splash screen which shows a loading wheel and then eventually I am met with my Login screen

Additional info:
Kernel 6.1.15
Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2022)
Attached is my dmesg output from a cold start which did not show the password prompt screen.

I do have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU so to rule out the possibility of the proprietary NVIDIA driver affecting this, I have uninstalled the driver (which was originally installed via RPMfusion), and I am experiencing the issue still.
This can be seen in the other attachment containing this boot log and in the boot command you will see certain nvidia-related boot commands are not there like they are when I had then driver installed.

To add to this, I have received the following tip:

Since you have an optimus system, the internal screen is driven by the intel igpu, the nvidia gpu should have no influence on this.
Furthermore, the nvidia driver doesn’t get embedded into the initrd so only loads when you unlock your system 

Just want to get ahead of the curve before my GPU is blamed.
