   moment it creates each child, so a module loaded afterwards leaves them

+  That constraint belongs to the STOCK driver, not to NSS itself: the single
+  nss_create() attempt can be turned into a bounded delayed-work retry, and the
+  child then attaches whenever the NSS data plane comes up, in any order. If you
