After some local troubleshooting installing unraid on my own system it was found that the nvidia container toolkit on Unraid is not mounting in the right files or setting up pathing adjustments for underlying containers properly.

Findings:

linuxserver/docker-baseimage-selkies#146 (comment)

This all boils down to new requirements for running a wayland surface via an EGL accelerated GBM on the nvidia card itself to enable zero copy encoding and native 3D acceleration support. Normally the nvidia container toolkit handles all of this and the drivers are mounted into the container and adapted to the containers pathing (IE Arch host with a Debian container).

The new stack works by making a wayland surface just like an application running on a normal Linux desktop would, we then nest a whole desktop environment into that surface. This type of native Linux Wayland support was introduced in Nvidia 555 with explicit sync support and enables multi tenancy vdi, zero copy encoding, and other modern features. Legacy stacks used a static Xorg config and priv mode in most cases to run xorg dummy in the container, these do not require the same so files for support. The same goes for basic stuff like nvenc or cuda.
