certain impact on actual production environments.

That's intentional. Please fix your user space code that uses hard-coded
NVMe block device names or introduce a mechanism in user space for block
devices that is similar to the predictable network interface names
mechanism. See also https://systemd.io/PREDICTABLE_INTERFACE_NAMES/.
