There is a flashing underscore beneath this, so it’s not completely frozen. What should I do? Is it safe to just force a reboot?

As someone who runs multitudes of Fedora servers with Nvidia+kmod build issues, I can say you're fine to reboot.
Nvidia packages fail all the time, especially when there is an out of order issues, like if you're updating a kernel before a reboot, AND also the kernel headers aren't in place first.
Reboot, and if the drivers aren't working (run
nvidia-smito check), just reinstall the updated packages and reboot, and it should be fine.I tried everything the other people suggested but ended up rebooting, like you said, everything’s fine. Thanks!
Great job! 👍
