I just upgraded to Lite 3.8, all went well, and the system is still using Nvidia drivers. So I have Lite 3.8 until April 2021.
Incidentally, I have posed this on the Ubuntu forum as well, as I've been testing Lubuntu 16.04. Morgae of that forum answered thus:
"Re: Lubuntu 16.04 and Nvidia drivers.
The Nvidia 6150SE n430 is a special case and the problem is exactly as you describe: Most Geforce cards of the same age run fine with Nouveau but this one needs Nvidia closed source drivers which are not supported by newer kernels."
Which supports my feeling that this video chipset does better on Nvidia drivers.
Thank god for Lin ux Lite. Of all the 16.04 'buntu systems I've been testing, only it works flawlessly, can use the Nvidia drivers, and is supported until 20212 April. You guys are the best.
