Major nouveau problem some time ago was suspend to ram support. Is that working and stable on all nouveau supported chipsets now?

Suspending with The Nouveau driver that graduated from staging

Works for me (nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M]) .... 9 times out of 10.

More accurately, 90 times out of 100, and those 10 times were all since I started using a second monitor via the DisplayPort. I haven't found out yet if there is a deeper pattern - e.g. maybe suspend fails if I unplug first, but not if I "xrandr --output DP-1 --off" first.

Before the second monitor, the only problem I had was that sometime it would resume with a black screen and I had to switch virtual consoles away and back to get it working again.
