Not likely. It would only work if both nouveau and nvidia had a working driver and both introduced a bug around the same time which made it not work. It can happen, but statistically highly unlikely. The jessie-backports workaround was just to get back to an older known working driver and apparently ppl found that easier then using snapshot.debian.org. When you're using testing or sid, I highly recommend getting familiar with snapshot.debian.org as it allows you to downgrade to any version that was released to debian.
