This needs to be done for every kernel update.

Yes, I used to automate that way on my systems. However, the
advantage with the kmod package from ELRepo is that it is kernel
version-independent, kABI-tracking, meaning it survives kernel updates
transparently and it does not require development software such as
gcc.
ELRepo keeps the Nvidia version up to date.
OK, too much advertisement. :-P
