Nouveau and Blobs

It seems that to be able to use nouveau with a recent mobile GPU proprietary blobs are needed: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/393357/is-nouveau-completely-free-of-non-free-code
In fact trying to use nouveau in my laptop I end up with the message at boot that some firmware was required...
So no support for modern GPU in a free system
Since when was kepler not modern though?
(maxwell and up...fair enough. That and it's Nvidia that's not supporting it, not the other way around. long story)
I am speaking about the hardware I have available and that it is already 3 years old. I am just telling a fact. No support for my nvidia card without firmware in nouveau.
We are living in a world far from ideal. I am not blaming the people that wrote nouveau.
This fact will push me to use an external usb distro to be able to use 3d acceleration for 3d modelling. Tried with the intel card. Results are far from satisfactory.
