Update. It did work in that the machine with the latest non-free Nvidia drivers properly boots with an '18 kernel.
Then, I was able to go to the "Other" tab in MX Tweak and uncheck auto update to put a hold on updates on Debian kernels. I verified that it remains unchecked, even after booting.
However, I expected the MX Package Installer to reflect as much under Kernels. That is, under MX Package Installer, I expected "Debian 64 bit" to be unchecked under the "Kernels" twisty. It remains checked / enabled.
Is this the expected behavior? In this state, where MX Tweak and MX Package Installer appear to conflict, will kernel updates be held?
Thanks

Yes the meta packages are still installed so they will show in the package managers. The packagers are held using apt-mark hold when the tweak option is unchecked.
If the packages are removed the option won’t show in tweak.
