The good news: I re-updated the mpt3sas module back to the latest and using 9.2 I now have back my missing mpt3sas volume! yeah

The bad news: I’ve now lost my NVME disk/volume

Can you try installing elrepo’s kernel-ml? This provides the latest kernel from upstream (kernel.org).

# dnf --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml
23

Kernel now at: 6.3.3-1.el9.elrepo.x86_64

Problem persists with missing nvme disk

Boot → 9.2 (5.14.0-286.11.1): hpsa - GOOD, mpt3sas - GOOD, nvme - ISSUE
Boot → 9.1 (5.14.0-162.23.1): hpsa - GOOD, mpt3sas - ISSUE, nvme - GOOD

Success!

Booted to 9.1, copied nvme contents to hpsa
Booted to 9.2, wiped nvme, new partition, new lv, new mount, copied original content from hpsa back to nvme

Boot → 9.2 (6.3.3-1): hpsa - GOOD, mpt3sas - GOOD, nvme - GOOD
